SUMMARY:Rooted in Resilience Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:American Farmland Trust and Wonder Farm Earth invite you to join them for a full day learning circle to gather in community with farmers and landowners for discussions on farm viability\, soil health\, food systems\, extreme weather\, business and social challenges\, and farmer wellness. Jennifer Viktora-Cuomo\, of Wonder Farm Earth\, is a diversified vegetable grower and innovative farmer and business owner. Jennifer will support the learning circle discussion and host a tour of her farm. This event is great for new/beginning and farmers of all ages and experience.\n\nWhat is a learning circle? AFT Learning Circles are intentional spaces for folks in agriculture\, designed to cultivate a sense of community and peer-to-peer learning by fostering meaningful discussion amongst those who attend. Rooted in decentering hierarchy\, these non-lecture conversations are facilitated so everyone has time and space to share at their own level of comfort and learn from each other. We will be following the cultural norms outlined in this guidance document\, https://tinyurl.com/2k2xen8r . We invite you to review them at your convenience before your arrival.

SUMMARY:From Metrics to Farmer Mindsets: A Discussion on Key Findings from JSWC’s Soil Health Issue
DESCRIPTION:Soil health is shaped by a dynamic interaction of physical\, chemical\, and biological components. Together\, these interactions can support agricultural productivity\, strengthen soil ecosystems\, and reduce the environmental impacts of farming. Exploring how these factors work together and what motivates producers to adopt soil health practices is the focus of the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation’s (JSWC) special issue on Soil Health and Conservation. \nIn this webinar\, two researchers featured in the special issue share insights from their work. Dr. Dianna Bagnall and colleagues looked at how management practices affected soil health measurements across seven cotton-producing regions in the southern United States and considered. They also consider how soil health data can be contextualized to guide region-and soil-specific goals.
