Connecticut’s Northeast Organic Farming Association – or CT NOFA – held their 43rd Winter Conference last weekend at Eastern CT State University, and For the People was there to put together a live Special Report that digs into everything from worms and bugs to a proposed state Constitutional Amendment and making agriculture more sustainable and equitable – especially for veterans, minority community members, and new Connecticut farmers. So stay tuned and hear from participants including She Worms Composting, the CT Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES), CT NOFA’s Director of Advocacy, the CT Land Conservation Council, Phocas Seeds, CT REsource & Conservation Development, and the New CT Farmer Alliance.
