FS-6Encourage and support agricultural research in Boulder County

This strategy focuses on Longmont’s participation in agricultural research efforts in partnership with Colorado State University, Boulder County, and local producers. Agricultural practices that reduce negative ecosystem impacts and when possible, serve as a solution to ecosystem problems, are desired. Local research is needed to best understand environmental and economic outcomes of practices in Boulder County. These include but are not limited to: climate smart agriculture, weed and insect control, soil health, water conservation, and energy use.
