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.

SUMMARY:Film: The Biggest Little Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community screening of the documentary film The Biggest Little Farm in Rodale Institute’s theater. \nThe Biggest Little Farm chronicles one California couple’s journey into the world of organic farming—never shying away from showing their challenges\, but equally quick to celebrate their successes in turning a once-barren landscape into a thriving\, regenerative utopia. A Washington Post review calls this 2018 film a must-see “not just for the primer it offers in how foodways\, farming practices and larger environmental forces are crucially connected but for its dazzling imagery of nature in action…” \nThere is no fee for attending this event\, but Rodale Institute welcomes donations. No matter how large or small\, your donation goes a long way toward supporting Rodale Institute’s efforts to champion organics and create a healthier planet for all. \nSpace is limited\, pre-registration is required. \n\n \nCompleting this form signs you up for electronic communications from Rodale Institute.

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
