\nAlberta has 20 million hectares of cropland and 35 million hectares of forest.\n<\/p>\n

\nThat holds a lot of potential for developing a new bio economy <\/b>based on novel uses for traditional resources.<\/p>\n

\nThat also supports research in a field called ecosystem services.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nAlberta Innovates Bio Solutions CEO Dr. Stan Blade<\/b> explains.\n <\/p>\n


\nDR. STAN BLADE: <\/b>We\u2019ve been asked by an Alberta agency, the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation, to think about, are there biological ways for sequestering carbon? We work very closely with land managers in both agriculture and forestry. We think that there might be ways to use science and new technology to lock down carbon in ways . beyond what has been in the conversation before now. And just that broader suite of ecosystem services. We think that the land managers in agriculture and forestry have done a good job of making sure that we have clean air and clean soils and high quality water. We need to make sure that those industries are rewarded for that stewardship that they provide and there are some mechanisms that probably can help us to get there. We can play a significant role in testing out those researchable questions that will grow those areas. <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\nThat was Dr. Stan Blade.\n<\/p>\n
