SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council (NREC) convened in December to welcome three new board members, filling the vacancies left by outgoing member Cindy Skrukrud. Among the new appointees is Alton's own Favilla, who is expected to bring valuable insights and expertise to the council.
The NREC plays a crucial role in promoting research and education initiatives aimed at improving nutrient management practices across the state. The addition of these new members is anticipated to enhance the council's efforts in addressing pressing environmental concerns related to nutrient runoff and agricultural sustainability.
The council's focus remains on fostering collaboration among stakeholders, including farmers, researchers, and policymakers, to develop effective strategies that not only benefit agricultural productivity but also protect water quality. As they embark on their new roles, the board members are poised to contribute significantly to the ongoing dialogue surrounding nutrient management in Illinois.
