Educating Farmers on Organic Practices

Educating Farmers on Organic Practices
Vision: Better relationships between conventional farmers and organic farmers (so they meet in the middle and work together).

• Work plan ideas: 1) develop outreach that is intensely local, in your immediate neighborhood to keep it personal and to share stories 2) Consider local production of the play on this topic: "What will be in the fields tomorrow?" 3) Work with aforementioned residency program as opportunity to bridge understanding between existing conventional farmland owners and new organic farmers.
• Next steps: Patty Wheeler to be point person for anyone want to initiate dialog in their immediate neighborhood of farmers.
