Building on the foundation established in Session 1, this second webinar in AURI’s alfalfa innovation series shifts the focus from food-grade applications to non-forage uses in feed, fertilizer, and processing technologies. AURI and select field experts will share current research, pilot trials, and commercialization pathways that are expanding alfalfa’s role in diversified and resilient agricultural markets.
In this session, participants will hear about:
- Non-forage alfalfa opportunities in specialty animal feeds, including swine, nonruminant, and aquatic species
- Current research and field trials evaluating alfalfa-based feed and fertilizer applications
- Functional performance, nutrient considerations, and technical challenges across use cases
- Economic and market dynamics shaping commercialization pathways
- Processing equipment innovations enabling new value chain opportunities
- Broader landscape and supply-chain implications of advancing perennial crops beyond traditional forage markets
The webinar is free of cost, but registration is required. Learn more and register here!
