SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Webinar: How Do Farming Practices Impact Soil Health and Water Quality? Research Update of the Watershed Impact Trial (WIT)
DESCRIPTION:* Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this webinar has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for 2023. Please check back in the new year for the rescheduled dates on our Events Calendar. \nIn collaboration with the Stroud Water Research Center and with funding from the William Penn Foundation\, the Rodale Institute is researching the links between farm management practices\, soil health\, and water quality. Different organic and conventional management practices will promote or degrade soil health\, which can affect downstream water quality. Join us for a mid-project update on what we have learned so far. \nLearn more about the Watershed Impact Trial here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cutting Through Greenwashing—Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC)
DESCRIPTION:We know that Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People\, and organic certification can create healthy soil\, but what if you want to go above and beyond? What does “regenerative” agriculture actually mean\, and how is it different from “Regenerative Organic”? Join the Rodale Institute and Regenerative Organic Alliance to discuss the Regenerative Organic Certification program and how farmers across the world are implementing this certification on their farm\, and how it will change the way our food is produced for generations to come. \nLearn more about the work of the Regenerative Organic Alliance at https://regenorganic.org/. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Reducing Tillage to Improve Soil Health and Organic Grain Production—Research Update of the USDA NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) Project
DESCRIPTION:Reducing tillage is a challenging yet rewarding task for organic farmers. Different from conventional farmers who spray herbicides\, organic farmers sometimes have to use frequent tillage to prepare the seed bed and/or to cultivate to control weeds\, compromising their full potential in building soil health. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui\, Principal Investigator\, and Annie Benson\, Research Technician\, will provide an update of 3 years’ research findings of the USDA NRCS funded Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) project “Innovations in Cover Crop-Based Organic No-till Systems”. The efficacy of innovative tools in terminating cover crops\, controlling weeds\, supporting yields\, and maintaining soil health will be discussed. The challenges and opportunities in reducing tillage intensity and frequency in organic grain production systems will be highlighted. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Webinar: Incorporating Industrial Hemp Into Your Rotation
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances this webinar has been cancelled. If you have any questions\, please contact our Education department at 610-683-1481. \nOur research has shown that industrial hemp offers a host of soil health benefits\, including exceptional weed suppression as a cover crop – but how can it fit into a crop rotation\, and is it profitable? Join us to discuss opportunities for growing\, marketing\, and incorporating industrial hemp into your crop rotation.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Livestock Production—Is Organic Certification “Worth It"?
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes the decision to obtain organic certification can be difficult\, especially if you’re already ‘grassfed’ and have a loyal customer base – but in some cases\, certification can set your operation apart in the marketplace and provide a myriad of benefits. Join Ryan Siwinski to discuss the basics of organic livestock production and how it may differ from what you’ve heard in the past. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Rotational No-Till Series\, Part 2: Let’s Talk About No-Till “Regenerative” Agriculture (Live Q&A)
DESCRIPTION:Farmers across the country are adopting no-till practices at an astonishing rate\, fueled in large part by several popular books and resources. While there’s no doubt a reduction in tillage is beneficial for soil\, water\, and microorganisms\, is it possible that we may have over-corrected slightly? Can tillage be a part of a healthy system\, or is it destined to disappear forever? And are “regenerative” operations really what they say they are? Join us to learn a little more about the most recent research surrounding tillage and stick around for a live discussion after the presentation. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: 40 Years’ Research Update of Rodale Institute’s Farming Systems Trial (FST)
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1981\, the Farming System Trial (FST) of Rodale Institute is the longest running side-by-side comparison of organic and conventional grain production systems in North America. Knowledge generated by this trial has influenced farmers\, researchers\, and policy makers and facilitated the adoption of organic and regenerative agricultural practices in the U.S. and around the world. In this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui\, the Director of FST\, will comprehensively introduce the research conducted in the trial in the last 40 years\, and highlight the latest research findings since 2008\, when “no-till” and “tilled” comparison was introduced to both organic and conventional systems. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Research Update – Organic Control Strategies for Swine Parasites in Organic Pastured Pork Systems
DESCRIPTION:Intestinal parasites are a persistent problem in pastured pig systems\, but organic parasite control strategies are not reliable. In this webinar\, project leaders and farmers from Rodale Institute will provide research updates on a USDA NIFA Organic Transition grant-funded project focusing on organic parasite control through manure and pasture management. Updates include composting manure to destroy infective parasite eggs and biofumigation of soil to reduce parasite eggs in pasture. \nPresenters include Rick Carr\, Sara Major and Baylor Lansden. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Research Update - Grain Nutrient Density in the Farming Systems Trial
DESCRIPTION:As part of a new research initiative\, Rodale Institute is working towards understanding how organic farming management and improved soil health leads to improved human health. As a first step\, we have begun nutrient testing of grains in our long-term Farming Systems Trial\, entering its 41st year\, and other trials on the farm. This webinar will provide an update of nutrient testing of small grains and corn that includes minerals\, protein\, amino acids\, and the nutraceutical amino acid ergothioneine. \nThis webinar is presented by Andrew Smith\, Ph.D. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Microbial Carbon Pump (MCP)
DESCRIPTION:In the past decade\, there has been a significant breakthrough in our understanding of soil organic matter formation and the carbon cycle. Now we increasingly know that humus actually may not exist in soil\, and soil microbes not just are responsible for decomposition\, but also contribute directly to soil organic matter formation. This brand new mechanistic understanding has been described as the soil “microbial carbon pump (MCP).” \nDoes this theory explain why regenerative agriculture builds soil carbon? How can we utilize this conceptual advancement to guide actual practices to improve soil carbon storage? In this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui will introduce this paradigm shift and discuss how we can harness the power of regenerative agriculture and revitalize the soil “MCP” to effectively regenerate soil carbon. \n\nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.
