SUMMARY:Agroforestry Series: Planning and Designing
DESCRIPTION:This in-depth look into the planning and designing process for agroforestry systems will be led by Savanna Institute’s Agroforestry Technical Service Provider\, Sven Pihl. \nSven Pihl is the Agroforestry Technical Service Provider for the Kankakee and Iroquois River Watersheds. Sven\, a Navy aircraft mechanic before and during the Persian Gulf War\, had also worked in technical and process engineering roles until the financial collapse of 2008. Taking advantage of this disturbance\, he homesteaded for several years and later\, through his business\, CT Edible Ecosystems LLC\, worked on community and residential food systems planning and design projects. As an autodidact\, he combines his engineering\, systems-thinking and project management experience with Ecological Landscape Design Permaculture\, Holistic Management and Regenerative Agriculture studies to design systems that meet human needs while building ecosystem health. Sven enjoys being outdoors\, be it growing his own food\, camping\, hiking\, kayaking or hanging out with his dog\, Cyrus. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Queer Farmer Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Humble Hands Harvest (an Iowa-based worker-owned co-op farm) has hosted an annual Queer Farmer Convergence since 2018. It was conceived as a gathering to interrupt racist\, capitalist\, colonialist\, and heteropatriarchal legacies in U.S. agriculture\, while building community and alternatives among queer farmers who might experience isolation in those intersecting identities. The gathering is for all queer folk who identify as current\, lapsed\, or aspiring farmers / agriculturalists of any kind! \nThis gathering is in rural Iowa\, primarily because it first emerged out of a group of friends who are located here and had capacity to host. The QFC is a largely outdoor\, scrappy on-farm gathering where attendees will be camping\, sharing food made by Blazing Star Eats (a queer Decorah based local food biz)\, and spending the days attending scheduled sessions including opportunities to make art\, get your hands dirty\, and offering and participating in workshops. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Certified Organic Mushroom Production
DESCRIPTION:Certified organic mushroom production is a gray area in the National Organic Program. Is it a crop? Or is it something else entirely? The answer is a little complicated. Incorporating certified organic mushrooms into your operation can offer an opportunity to diversify cashflow and markets. Dive into the standards with one of Rodale Institute’s organic regulatory experts\, Zach West\, to learn more about how these fungi can benefit your production. \nInfo here.
