BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Researchers from the University of Vermont have embarked on a study measuring the sustainability of the maple syrup industry.
UVM officials say the Maple Sustainability Indicators project will investigate if the industry’s positive environmental image can be verified and over 10-years of monitoring, identify methods, frequency, and resource needs for longer-term measurement of key indicators.
Cat Viglienzoni spoke with Mark Cannella, a UVM Extention associate professor who will lead the team of researchers.
