From Climate Talk to Climate Action Join us for an immersive climate-smart agriculture demonstration exploring how LiveSoil may help reduce agricultural water consumption in drought-stricken regions around the world. The experience will bring the science of water conservation directly to life through a hands-on demonstration of what happens to water at the root level. Climate Scientist Dr. Emily Stuchiner, PhD, will explain the science and functionality behind LiveSoil’s water-retention technology, demonstrating how moisture can be retained within the root zone rather than rapidly draining away from where plants need it most. Neil Curtis, Founder & Chief Development Officer of LiveSoil, will conduct a live “Drip Down” water-flow demonstration, allowing attendees to see firsthand how precious water can quickly move through conventional agricultural growing mediums. The demonstration will then contrast this with LiveSoil, illustrating its ability to retain moisture around the root zone. The goal is simple: turn climate conversation into climate action. As drought, water scarcity, and changing growing conditions increasingly challenge farmers around the world, LiveSoil offers a new way to think about the relationship between soil, water, and plants. Attendees will experience a practical demonstration of a technology designed to help farmers grow more while using less water—and explore what agriculture could look like in a future where every drop matters.
