SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series: The Power of the Plate—The Soil/Human Health Connection
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Jeff Tkach\, Chief Impact Office\n \nWe take care of our gut microbiome with probiotics\, healthy foods\, and exercise. But what about the soil microbiome? Rodale Institute’s Chief Impact Officer Jeff Tkach discusses the immediate connection between the health of the soil and the health of our bodies\, and the ways in which transitioning to a regenerative organic food system may be a win-win-win for farmers\, consumers\, and the planet.\n \n PLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person event—a virtual option is not available. \n\n\n \n Browse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series:  See Other Events\n

SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series: Soil Carbon and Regenerative Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Yichao Rui\, Director\, Farming Systems Trial\n \nWhy is soil carbon so important to humans? What role are soil and agriculture playing in climate change? Can regenerative agriculture save us by regenerating soil carbon? In this talk\, Dr. Yichao Rui will illustrate the processes how carbon is accumulated in the soil\, the critical role of microorganisms in soil carbon transformation and stabilization\, and how such processes can be disrupted (or reinforced) by the way we farm.\n \n PLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person event—a virtual option is not available. \n\n\n \n Browse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series:  See Other Events\n

SUMMARY:Summer Lecture Series: The Positive Environmental Health Implications of Composting
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Rick Carr\, Farm Director \nComposting is a waste management strategy to divert organic residuals such as food waste from the landfill. Practitioners can turn unwanted wastes into valuable resources and use them for improving soil health. Join Rick Carr\, Farm Director\, for his lecture on the benefits of composting\, from waste management to plant production. \nPLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person event—a virtual option is not available. \n\n \nBrowse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series:  See Other Events

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED — Summer Lecture Series: Philosophies of Starting a Farm
DESCRIPTION:** Due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been rescheduled from its original date of June 23. \n \nPresented by: Dan Kemper\, Master Trainer \nFarming can be one of the most rewarding careers available in this day and age\, but it comes with plenty of grief and stress. Starting a new farm can be even harder\, especially for first generation farmers who did not grow up learning the trade. \nThis evening lecture will focus on the philosophy of beginning a farm\, and what can be expected during the process. After 10 years of training new/aspiring farmers to begin their careers in organic agriculture\, Dan Kemper will share his experiences over the last decade\, and critically discuss intentions\, goals\, and hurdles of starting an organic farm.\n  \n\n\n \n Browse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series:  See Other Events\n

SUMMARY:CANCELED — Summer Lecture Series: Genetic Engineering in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, due to unforeseen circumstances\, we have had to cancel this event. Browse other lectures in our Summer Lecture Series here: \nSee Other Events\n  \nPresented by: Sam Malriat\, Director\, Organic Consulting\n \nThe development of genetically engineered crops in the United States allowed for a drastic increase in overall crop yields and productivity. However\, it also set off a cascade of consequences that\, to this day\, continues to affect our health\, our food system\, sensitive off-target organisms\, and the environment. \nJoin us to explore the roots of genetic engineering\, its development over time\, and understand how it is used today. This lecture presented by Rodale Institute’s Director of Organic Consulting\, Sam Malriat\, seeks to share impartial information about genetic engineering so attendees can leave with a balanced perspective on its role in agriculture and more effectively discuss it with their peers.\n \n PLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person event—a virtual option is not available. \n\n\n
