The Livestock & Poultry Environmental Learning Center (LPELC) is a learning network made up of professionals from across the United States (and Canada) with an interest and expertise in manure managemement, animal agriculture, and environmental stewardship. The network was officially established in 2005 with a USDA National Facilitation grant focused on water quality. The LPELC strives to bring together all types of expertise; from research and technical knowledge to application of science on the farm. The network ideally creates a feedback loop where on-farm application informs research and science. Better science should lead to positive applications on the farm which continues to refine the science, and so on.
The LPELC is involved in the Coalition's Agriculture initiaitve.
