SUMMARY:Webinar: Research Update - Reducing Tillage in Organic Grain Systems
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\, Lead Scientist of the USDA NRCS funded Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) project “Innovations in Cover Crop-Based Organic No-till Systems” will discuss the challenges and opportunities in reducing tillage intensity and frequency in organic grain production systems. The efficacy of innovative tools in terminating cover crops\, controlling weeds\, supporting yields\, and maintaining soil health will be discussed. \nWatch a Recording of this Webinar

SUMMARY:Webinar: Food\, Farming and Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Watch A Recording of This Webinar \nFood\, Farming and Philadelphia – The Impact of Organic Agriculture on Human and Environmental Health in the City of Brotherly Love\nJoin us for a panel discussion that brings together voices in the Philadelphia area around the impact agriculture has on our health and the health of the environment around us. This is part of our Grow Clean Water initiative aimed at educating young families in the Philadelphia region about the connection between farming practices and healthy waterways. \nIn addition to learning about farming practices\, urban gardening initiatives\, and how restaurants source their food\, our panelists will discuss the important role we all play as informed and value-driven consumers. How can we make a personal impact on the food system through our purchases? How do those decisions impact the environment and our communities? \nThe conversation will be moderated by Julie Hancher of Green Philly. Panelists include Christa Barfield of FarmerJawn Community Greenhouses\, Justin Trezza of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society\, Carly Pourzand of The People’s Kitchen\, and Emily Newman of Rodale Institute’s Organic Crop Consulting Program. Christa Barfield is a healthcare professional-turned-farmer\, a 33-year-old mother of two and a lifelong Germantown resident. 10 years into her career in healthcare\, she resigned from her job and determined to take back her life\, health\, and happiness\, not only for herself but for her family as well. After a solo trip to Martinique in January 2018\, she returned home inspired to connect with the land\, plant life\, and social issues that heavily impact black and brown communities. Since 2018\, she has developed earth-born brands owned by her parent company\, LifeLeaf Organic Farms. Her original two ventures\, Viva Leaf Tea Co. and FarmerJawn Community Supported Agriculture are based in regenerative agricultural values with a goal of traceable and transparent origins of 100% Organically Dope foods. Christa has also begun expanding her hemp farming knowledge with the goals of destigmatizing cannabis and impacting regulation related to unfair incarceration surrounding the plant. \n \nJulie Hancher is cofounder & editor of Green Philly\, a local media company that makes sustainable living easy\, accessible and lost cost to the region through its website and events. Since 2008\, Green Philly is the region’s top source for sustainability news\, tips\, inspiration and career advice. In 2016\, Hancher created SustainPHL\, Philadelphia’s annual sustainability awards and celebrations. Julie is a frequent speaker and sustainability expert\, and has appeared on WHYY Radio Times\, Philly Weekly\, Travel & Leisure and more. When she’s not behind a computer\, you can find Julie hiking\, biking or traveling. \n \nEmily Newman is Rodale Institute’s Organic Crop Consulting Program Manager. She joined the consulting team in January 2020 and helps farmers navigate organic compliance as they transition to certified organic. Emily holds a B.S. in Environmental Resource Management\, focused in Soil Science\, from Pennsylvania State University and is currently pursuing an M.B.A. in Food and Agribusiness from Delaware Valley University. Prior to joining the team at Rodale Institute\, she worked in regulatory compliance of organics for a certification agency and a materials review organization. She is IOIA trained\, a Certified Crop Advisor and serves as a board member for the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). \nCarly Pourzand is the People’s Kitchen Organizing Director at 215 People’s Alliance\, a multi-racial collaborative fighting for equity and justice in Philadelphia. Since the onset of COVID-19\, she has worked alongside other community members\, chefs\, organizers\, and restaurant workers to shape the People’s Kitchen into a people-powered project that is reimagining the food system. Carly’s organizing and advocacy experience has spanned the fields of education\, immigration\, racial\, economic\, environmental\, and food justice. Throughout her advocacy and community discussion facilitation\, she has worked with hospital workers\, undocumented leaders\, and people impacted by opioids and policing. Most recently\, Carly spearheaded the collaboration between the People’s Kitchen and the Growing Together Garden\, based on her years-long relationship with a congregation in one of the most violently gentrified neighborhoods in South Philly. This Community Farm is now a cornerstone in the People’s Kitchen and 215 PA’s work. \nJustin Trezza joined Pennsylvania Horticultural Society as its Director of Community Gardens Program in 2017 after having worked with several agroecological and grassroots organizations. Justin works closely with his team\, which includes the City Harvest initiative\, to support community and cooperative gardens throughout Philadelphia for a successful growing season. Justin received his B.A. in International Affairs and Socio-cultural Anthropology from the George Washington University and received his Nonprofit Executive Leadership Certificate through Bryn Mawr College.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Pastured Hogs Production
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, we have had to cancel the on-farm Pastured Hog workshop scheduled for October 7th. Some of the content of that class will be covered in the webinar scheduled for October 8th. There is no access fee\, and you can register here. \nIf you want to watch a video detailing our hog facility and operation\, with a presentation by our animal husbandry specialist\, you can find it as part of our 2020 Virtual Field Day.\nThere is a $25 fee to access the virtual event. \n• • • \nThis class is an opportunity for interested farmers to learn first-hand how to integrate a pastured hog operation into their farm. Focused on nutrition and forage management\, serious farmers will gain the knowledge they need to begin setting the foundations of a successful organic hog herd. \nA pasture-based production system is a very cost-effective method of meat production and is appealing to consumers who look for high quality meat from humanely treated animals. Grazing hogs on pasture not only benefits the animals but also improves the overall farm\, as hogs will clean up weather-damaged crops and weed species\, fertilize pastures/fields with manure\, and can even be used to “till up” underproductive areas. \nIf you are a veteran\, you may be eligible to attend educational events for free. Please email veterans@rodaleinstitute.org for details. \nOrganic Farmers Association members receive a 25% discount on all workshops. Email maria.pop@rodaleinstitute.org to claim your discount.
