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:Understanding Bird Populations and How They Change
DESCRIPTION:October 11 – November 1 (Tuesdays\, 7:00 – 8:30 pm each week) \nIn less than a single human lifetime\, 2.9 billion breeding adult birds have been lost from the United States and Canada\, across every ecosystem\, and including some of the most abundant and familiar bird species. In this course we will examine how we determine the abundance and distribution of different bird species\, for both bird populations in Wisconsin and at the national level. State and federal monitoring programs will also be discussed. We will also consider how bird populations have changed\, what species are currently “at-risk” and why\, and how monitoring programs can be used in management and conservation. We will also review the many organizations that work on studying bird populations. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Managing Plant Surplus Carbon to Generate Soil Organic Matter in Regenerative Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Soil degradation is a global problem. Intensive\, chemical-based conventional agriculture focuses on aboveground biomass production and yield and overlooks belowground plant carbon input and plant-soil-microbe associations\, leading to declined soil organic matter levels. In this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui will explain how regenerative agricultural practices such as judicious use of fertilizers\, incorporation of legumes\, and adaptive grazing can increase SOM levels by enhancing plant surplus carbon. Fine-tuning of agricultural practices may provide an opportunity to facilitate SOM regeneration while optimizing long-term crop yields. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Pastured Pigs for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an introductory conversation about the production and marketing of pigs raised in pasture settings. Pigs can function as a profitable stand-alone enterprise or can be integrated into your existing farm structure to provide a variety of products and make use of marginal lands that would otherwise go unused. Pigs are also ideal for turning agricultural wastes such as spent grain\, whey\, or seconds into a valuable products\, and with proper management\, they can improve the land where they are kept. Come with questions! \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Understanding Bird Populations and How They Change
DESCRIPTION:October 11 – November 1 (Tuesdays\, 7:00 – 8:30 pm each week) \nIn less than a single human lifetime\, 2.9 billion breeding adult birds have been lost from the United States and Canada\, across every ecosystem\, and including some of the most abundant and familiar bird species. In this course we will examine how we determine the abundance and distribution of different bird species\, for both bird populations in Wisconsin and at the national level. State and federal monitoring programs will also be discussed. We will also consider how bird populations have changed\, what species are currently “at-risk” and why\, and how monitoring programs can be used in management and conservation. We will also review the many organizations that work on studying bird populations. \nInfo here.
