Join us for a practical look at how the USDA-supported Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model can help quantify a broad range of agricultural sustainability indicators, from water quality and greenhouse gas emissions to carbon sequestration and soil health, while also considering important agronomical impacts like crop performance.

In this webinar, we will:

• Explain our multi-objective calibration and validation process for APEX, designed to deliver robust, field-scale predictions of long-term agronomic and environmental impacts.
• Present results showing how the calibrated model evaluates management and conservation practices across diverse soil and weather conditions.
• Demonstrate how stakeholders can use Farm-PREP, a web-based tool, to enable more environmentally comprehensive assessments of land management across mixed-use farms that include cropland, pasture, and non-agricultural working lands.
