Ernest 'Ernie' Shea is the President of Solutions from the Land, a not-for-profit organization that incubates and supports farmer-led, multi-stakeholder platforms that inspire, educate, and equip agricultural partners to innovate and lead efforts to sustain productivity, enhance climate resilience, and contribute to local and global goals for sustainable development. Shea has over 40 years of experience at the global, national, state and local level where he has designed and facilitated initiatives to enhance the effective functioning and ability of agricultural landscapes to sequester carbon, protect water quality, improve public health, and ensure a growing and resilient food system.

What are the Conversations about Carbon series?
Conversations about Carbon are monthly virtual webinars. The goal is to bring people together for an informal discussion of concepts and action surrounding carbon reduction, removal, and repair, and the role agriculture can play in a changing climate.

The opportunities and challenges of carbon removal are complex. What are the technical considerations, associated costs, and potential unintended consequences of carbon removal? We want to provide you an opportunity to talk with the experts and leaders to help tackle these questions.

Our goal is to provide science-based information on how we move forward using agriculture to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Why Attend?
These conversations are meant to be informal and educational conversations. Each expert will be interviewed by a faculty member from Iowa State University. Following the interview, we will open up the conversation to participants to ask questions and engage in dialog. Conversations will last no more than 45 minutes.
