SUMMARY:Practical Options for Food Production Resilience in an Increasingly Variable Climate
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day with Dr. Christine Jones\, Australian soil carbon scientist\, for a presentation and field walk. \nTopics will cover how to build soil carbon to improve: \n\nproduction and farm viability\nplant and livestock health and disease resistance\nhuman nutrition\nClimatic resilience on your farm or garden plot\n\n\nDr. Christine Jones is an internationally-acclaimed agricultural educator with a specific message regarding sequestration of carbon and humus development through appropriate agricultural practices. According to Dr. Jones\, photosynthesis operating at full capacity is the critical element in soil humification. Among the many benefits of high-humus soils are: an abundance of soil micro-organisms which manage and make available to the plants a broad range of minerals; more effective water management; and more vibrant plant health through improved plant immunity. Dr. Jones’ work focuses on how to maximize photosynthesis through biological processes. Her message is appropriate for anyone who raises food\, for those who focus on conserving our natural resources\, and for climate activists.\n\n \nClick here for more information about the event and to register.
