SUMMARY:Woodland Conversion to Silvopasture Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:In this two part series\, join farmer and educator Steve Gabriel for a discussion about how a woodlot can be utilized responsibly for supporting livestock well being and productivity. Historically\, many farmers have put animals in the woods\, but often this results in exposed soil\, erosion\, and damage to trees. With intentional planning and best practices\, the right woodland can benefit from livestock integration and offer a place of shade\, shelter\, and forage during the hottest and coldest times of the season. These webinars will feature examples and some step-by-step approaches to transitioning a woodland into a site for grazing animals. \nRegister for Part 2 of the webinar series here.  View Part 1 here.

SUMMARY:BUILDING A FOOD SAFETY PLAN from Soil to Sale
DESCRIPTION:Hey Food Safety friends! In this 8 module webinar series we will take a deep dive into the process of coaching a farmer to write a customized food safety plan. You will be provided tools and templates aligned with the Harmonized GAP standard. \nTrainers Trish Tripp and Lindsay Gilmour have many years experience and have helped hundreds of small-scale diversified farmers write food safety plans and achieve audit readiness. They will share their expertise in demystifying the daunting process of writing a food safety plan and interpreting the requirements of the Harmonized GAP standards. \nSome familiarity with food safety is a prerequisite for this training. This could be participation in a PSA Grower Training (FSMA Produce Safety Rule training) or an equivalent GAP training.\nThere will be homework assigned after each modules. Those who attend the entire webinar series will receive a certificate of completion. \nThis series is designed to be a learning opportunity for those seeking a career as an on-farm food safety coach\, for farmer advocates\, and others working to support and educate small-scale farmers on food safety.

SUMMARY:2022 Winter Farminar Series: Mysteries Revealed: Organic Seed Production and How Growers Can Play a Part
DESCRIPTION:Seeds are a foundational piece of any successful farm\, but how much do you really know about the seeds you are planting? In this Farminar\, we will uncover some of the mysteries of the organic seed industry. Who is breeding new varieties\, how is the seed being produced and why do well-loved varieties get dropped? Perhaps most importantly\, we will discuss ways growers can engage with the variety development process to influence which crops and traits are actively being improved. \nAdrienne Shelton is a senior product specialist with Vitalis Organic Seeds. She earned a master’s degree in plant breeding and plant genetics\, and a doctorate in environment and resources\, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Adrienne is proud to have participated in the breeding and release of “Who Gets Kissed?\,” an open-pollinated sweet corn bred for and with organic farmers. Adrienne serves on the board of directors for the Organic Seed Alliance\, and has been engaged with the organic farming movement as a farmer\, organizer\, seed saver and researcher for over 20 years. \nFarminars are webinars that are free and produced to help farmers learn about business and production issues that matter to them from the convenience of their homes. Learn more about Practical Farmers of Iowa. View previous Farminars here.

SUMMARY:FSNE Winter Series #2: Building Multi-Racial Movements for Equity & Justice
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the second event in FSNE’s 2022 Winter Series\, bringing regional food system participants and aligned friends together to dig into our shared work\, learn together\, get inspired\, and deepen our connections to one another. Please come for part of all of this event. \nHear from our special guests about how we can advance racial equity and wellbeing in these challenging times\, what opportunities exist to advance equitable belonging and to make change across food\, farming\, and fishing sectors\, and how we can best direct our collective efforts. \nThe first part of this event (10:00 am to noon) will feature Dr. Eddie Moore\, Jr. and Debby Irving\, inspiration for FSNE’s version of the Racial Equity Challenge. Our “keychord” panel will also include special guests Katya Fels Smith and Tanya Tucker from the Full Frame Initiative in which you’ll gain valuable insights for your own work. \nThe second part of this event (12:30 to 2:30 pm) will be a participatory skill-building workshop led by Curtis Ogden of the Interaction Institute for Social Change and Karen Spiller\, UNH Haas Professor\, FSNE Ambassador\, and principle in KAS Consulting. The workshop will focus on tools and processes to advance work for racial equity and equitable wellbeing. \nAs we grapple with pandemic disruptions and political polarization\, reckon with emboldened white supremacy\, and face ever-growing challenges from the climate crisis\, the importance of standing firm in a commitment to racial equity and justice in our food system is growing. \n\nWhat does racial equity look like in our communities and institutions? \nHow can we advance multi-racial movements for justice and wellbeing? \nWhat are some of the opportunities we can lean into now?\n\nThis session will be held in English and will be recorded for later viewing. Facilitation by Karen Spiller and Curtis Ogden with support from the FSNE backbone staff at the UNH Sustainability Institute. \nHosted by: Food Solutions \nFor more information please visit: https://foodsolutionsne.org/event/fsne-winter-series-2-racial-equity/

SUMMARY:2022 Winter Farminar Series: Organic Day-Neutral Strawberry Production in the Upper Midwest
DESCRIPTION:Opportunities for producing berries at unique times of year in the Midwest are exciting\, as are those for organic berry production. At Little Berry Farm near Northfield\, Minnesota\, Aaron Wills is accomplishing both. Hear from Aaron about using caterpillar tunnels to produce day-neutral strawberries\, which offer harvests from late summer well into fall. \nAaron Wills grew up surrounded by farming\, but never thought he’d want to be a farmer. After graduating from college\, Aaron served for two years in the Peace Corps in Borino\, a remote mountain village in Bulgaria. Today Aaron\, along with his partner\, Molly McGovern Wills\, own and operate Little Hill Berry Farm near Northfield\, Minnesota\, where they grow organic strawberries\, blueberries and raspberries\, along with pumpkins and native prairie strips. They sell through farmers markets\, online sales and U-pick on the farm\, where they greet 200-400 customers each picking day during blueberry season. \nFarminars are webinars that are free and produced to help farmers learn about business and production issues that matter to them from the convenience of their homes. Learn more about Practical Farmers of Iowa. View previous Farminars here.

SUMMARY:A Legal Roundup of Glyphosate: History & Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Glyphosate is one of the most-used pesticides in the United States. It is the active ingredient in Roundup\, which has been used for decades to combat stubborn weeds. In recent years\, glyphosate has been at the center of several high-profile lawsuits where the plaintiffs claim that exposure to glyphosate caused them to develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The lawsuits have thus far resulted in several large awards granted to plaintiffs following jury trials\, a large settlement available to thousands of plaintiffs\, and an emerging legal issue that may ultimately be heard by the Supreme Court. \nAs these lawsuits have progressed through the court system\, a question has arisen regarding preemption. Preemption occurs when a higher form of government reduces the authority of a lower level of government. If a federal law and a state law conflict\, then the federal law has authority and will preempt the state law. Plaintiffs in glyphosate lawsuits tend to bring state law claims to argue that the manufacturer failed to warn them of the dangers posed by use of Roundup. However\, pesticide labeling is largely regulated by federal law. Bayer\, the company that manufactures Roundup\, claims that federal pesticide labeling laws preempt the state law claims raised by plaintiffs in such a way that would prevent the plaintiffs from bringing those claims to court. Currently\, the issue is on appeal to the United States Supreme Court. A ruling on the matter could potentially alter the course of pesticide litigation. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the glyphosate litigation\, including a brief history of how we got here\, a breakdown of where things are currently\, and an in-depth look at the issue of preemption and what it could mean for pesticide lawsuits. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:BUILDING A FOOD SAFETY PLAN from Soil to Sale
DESCRIPTION:Hey Food Safety friends! In this 8 module webinar series we will take a deep dive into the process of coaching a farmer to write a customized food safety plan. You will be provided tools and templates aligned with the Harmonized GAP standard. \nTrainers Trish Tripp and Lindsay Gilmour have many years experience and have helped hundreds of small-scale diversified farmers write food safety plans and achieve audit readiness. They will share their expertise in demystifying the daunting process of writing a food safety plan and interpreting the requirements of the Harmonized GAP standards. \nSome familiarity with food safety is a prerequisite for this training. This could be participation in a PSA Grower Training (FSMA Produce Safety Rule training) or an equivalent GAP training.\nThere will be homework assigned after each modules. Those who attend the entire webinar series will receive a certificate of completion. \nThis series is designed to be a learning opportunity for those seeking a career as an on-farm food safety coach\, for farmer advocates\, and others working to support and educate small-scale farmers on food safety.

SUMMARY:FSNE Winter Series #4: Narrative Strategy: Building Narrative Power & Centering Impacted Voices
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the fourth and final event in FSNE’s 2022 Winter Series\, bringing regional food system participants and aligned friends together to dig into our shared work\, learn together\, get inspired\, and deepen our connections to one another. Please come for part of all of this event. \nIn addition to strengthening our regional network\, centering racial equity\, and embedding our shared values into the regional policy landscape\, FSNE knows that employing strategic narrative and framing wisdom is a critical part of the culture change we need in order to transform our food system. Without shifting the way our region thinks about food and related systems\, we will continue to struggle to shift actions and behaviors that are desperately needed now. \nBuilding narrative power often has two parts: 1) co-creating and deploying effective strategic framing and messaging by multiple groups\, across many platforms over time and\, 2) disrupting and de-powering the dominant narratives that actively harm people and places. How do we do that? How do we integrate this aspect of our work into the New England Food Vision? \nAs we explore the idea of building narrative power with our guests and our panel of practitioners\, we will be considering questions like: \n\nWhat does it look like when the lived experience of impacted communities is central to creating the solutions to our collective challenges? Who is involved in the knowledge-creation that we privilege or rely upon to create plans\, programs\, and policies?\nWhose stories get “air time?” Who gets to share those stories?\nHow do we share stories that lift up harm reduction in parallel with the urgent need to address root causes at this critical time in our culture?\nHow can storytelling and communications about our future food system be a powerful form of activism?\nHow can we do better at painting compelling and irresistible pictures of a just and resilient food system that works for everyone\, while being honest about the challenges and forces that would prevent us from getting there? (i.e. speak the truth\, but don’t feed crisis fatigue).\n\nThis event will feature guests and panelists from Real Food Real Stories\, Susu Community Farm\, Resources Organizing for Social Change\, and more! Full guest details coming soon. \nHosted by: Food Solutions New England \nFor registration and more information please visit: https://foodsolutionsne.org/event/fsne-winter-series-4-narrative-power/

SUMMARY:Farm to Institution Midwest Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Farm to Institution Midwest Summit will take place February 28 – March 2\, 2022\, featuring online sessions and in-person events to highlight how institutional investment in local food procurement strengthens communities.  Registration is free and all are encouraged to join these highly relevant conversations about the importance of robust regional food systems.  Sessions will be of particular interest to students\, local community\, government\, and higher education leaders\, and food producers.  Register online: bit.ly/registerF2iM    \nSummit sessions will feature presentations and discussions about campus farms\, how to inspire future generations through school gardens\, local food and community resilience\, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  Presenters include experts from Ohio University\, Butler University\, Federal Hocking School District\, Prescott College\, and Midwest Food Connection in Minnesota.  Please visit the Farm to Institution Midwest Summit webpage for registration\, presenter biographies\, and session descriptions: bit.ly/F2iOHIO.   \nThe summit is a project of the Farm to OHIO Working Group (FOWG)\, which has been working to strengthen our regional food systems through institutional procurement of locally grown food\, engaging community partners\, and developing our regional food network since launching the Initiative for Appalachian Food and Culture in 2016. Through close collaboration between Ohio University\, Rural Action\, and Community Food Initiatives\, the FOWG has reduced many  barriers to institutional purchasing of locally grown produce and has increased equitable access to local food on campus.   \nInstitutional investment in local food is a critical part of building community resilience for many reasons\, one key reason being the number of individuals an institution serves.  Institutions have the power to offer considerable financial support for local food producers\, potentially inspiring future farmers while simultaneously influencing future consumers of local food\, ultimately creating systems-level change for our community.  When we choose local food\, we choose to support systems that are equitable and just for all community members\, good for our planet\, and supportive of local businesses and jobs. \nAll are encouraged to attend. Please register online before February 28: https://bit.ly/registerF2iM\nEmail FarmtoOHIOinfo@ohio.edu with any questions.
