SUMMARY:Challenges and Opportunities in Organic Urban Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar to learn about production and marketing challenges and opportunities for farming organically in urban environments. \nOrganic producers of all sizes and across all landscapes must follow the same national standards to meet the requirements of USDA organic certification. However\, certified organic farmers and farmers using organic growing practices may have different production and market opportunities and challenges when growing in an urban environment. This webinar will explore research in this field\, as well as perspectives from farmers on growing organically in urban spaces. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Salt Wise Stories: City of Eau Claire
DESCRIPTION:Cory Tietz\, Street Superintendent with the City of Eau Claire\, will overview Eau Claire’s salt reduction strategies\, successes\, and next steps. When the Streets Department was told that a new section of highway was to receive NO salt\, Cory’s team went into overdrive. This challenge propelled them to rethink winter maintenance city-wide. They are pushing the envelope on gallons/ton used for pre-wetting salt (think 80+)\, engaging citizens through entertaining and informational social media posts\, and more. \nInfo here.
