Building on a successful technology exchange last year, FPPC focused on nutrients and water quality by highlighting the process of taking pilot projects to commercial success. This Technology Summit was held at the Loews Don Cesar Hotel in Saint Petersburg Beach, Florida starting at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, September 19th with a full day on Tuesday, September 20th, 2011. A welcome reception was held the evening of September 19, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
Under this year’s theme “Prototypes to Production; Technologies to Increase Revenue from Renewable Resources,” the symposium showcased how new technologies can efficiently reduce the environmental impact of nutrients while improving farm profitability. It also provided participants insights into how recent technology developments can provide business opportunities to commercialize various technological strategies for the livestock industry. Presentations and panels focused on:
- Growing challenges of managing nutrients in agriculture
- Manure – its value as a water, energy and nutrient resource
- Renewable energy – a cost savings and a farm revenue source
- Case studies - the requirements for attracting commercial investors
- Government policies to promote responsible nutrient management
This technology exchange program was designed with ample opportunities for attendees to interact with principal stakeholders of cutting-edge, farm-scale projects that utilize nutrient resources and will provide a key networking opportunity with recognized experts from government, business and research universities.

 Farm Pilot Project Coordination, Inc. (FPPC), a non-profit organization, was designated by Congress (Public Law 107-76) to assist in implementing innovative treatment technologies to address the growing waste issues associated with animal feeding operations (AFOs). FPPC's objective is to foster the conservation, development and wise use of land, water, and related resources, while providing AFOs with opportunities for profitable operation. |
 Significant progress has been made with the FPPC Program. To date, thirty-seven (37) Pilot Projects have been selected covering innovative technologies for poultry, dairy, swine and composting Operations in seventeen (17) states including: North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, California, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas and Vermont. These pilot projects are in various phases of development and operation. Six (6) project demonstrations are now nearing completion.
