SUMMARY:Bioremediation for Urban Soils
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA MASS online for the second of two evening events where we will learn from soil experts about bioremediation and how we are using plants and soil biology to ameliorate contaminated soil. In collaboration with the Mass Dept. of Ag. Resources we are tracking the results of our bioremediation test plots in several urban farming locations in Springfield Mass. During this live interactive event we will hear from our project bioremediation consultant Nance Klehm and Ibrahim Ali of Gardening The Community in Springfield along with youth participants to learn about the methods being used in their trial plots.\nIf bioremediation using microbiology and plant partners is effective\, such an approach can be beneficial by:\n• reducing costs by eliminating the need for expensive barriers and truckloads of loam\n• provide a deeper\, more functional soil\n• Improving soil in the long run for growing crops\, while breaking down toxic hydrocarbons and removing heavy metals to non-food-producing areas\nAgenda:\n• 7:00pm – Welcome and Introductions\n• 7:10pm – Bioremediation Overview\n• 7:30pm – Bioremediation in Process\n• 8:00pm – Questions and Discussion\n• 8:30pm – Wrap Up & Thank You \nclick HERE to For More Info

SUMMARY:Why Organic Now? Linking Social Justice to Personal and Planetary Health A Virtual Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NOFA-NH is proud to present “Why Organic Now? Linking Social Justice to Personal and Planetary Health\,” a FREE virtual panel discussion followed by a live Q & A. \n​ \nHumanity’s connection to one another and the planet is deeply rooted in agriculture. Spanning thousands of years across countless generations\, farming is a pillar of society\, just as food is an essential element of daily life. NOFA-NH believes that everyone has a right to nutritious\, local\, and culturally appropriate food. NOFA-NH also believes that those who tend to our food – farmers and farm workers – have a fundamental right to fair labor\, fair wages\, safe working conditions\, and access to resources that will enable them to feed their communities. While holding these beliefs\, we’re equally aware of the many challenges currently facing our food system\, including the troubling persistence of food insecurity\, injustice\, and the environmental crisis affecting our state and nation. \n\nThese challenges have highlighted the importance of organic growing and eating as practical steps for countering unfair labor practices\, unhealthy and inaccessible food supplies\, and climate change. People in New Hampshire and the Northeast are working together to build an equitable food system that strives to improve economic vitality\, resilience\, biodiversity\, and health for all. \n\nWe invite you to join us in a virtual discussion with leaders from around the state and region to explore specific ways that localized\, organic\, regenerative growing and eating can contribute to the repair of unjust social structures\, personal health\, and the environment that sustains us.

SUMMARY:Online Soil Health Field Day at Red Shirt Farm - Lanesboro MA
DESCRIPTION:Join NOFA MASS for a virtual tour of Red Shirt Farm in Lanesboro\, MA to learn from farm manager Jim Schultz and guest presenter Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association to learn how their no-till farming practices are improving soil health and the nutritional density of their produce.  We will have video clips of Red Shirt Farm that show Jim discussing certain aspects of the farm\, including: BCS tillage reduction equipment set up and systems\,  Johnson-Su Bioreactor\, and permanent bed systems.  Jim will give a demonstration of his BCS-powered transferred mulch system\, including mower\, rake and mini-baler. This system is used to convert cover crops to mulch that can be used elsewhere on the farm. Dan will talk about the results of the Real Food Campaign work so far and how they are collecting data to link the value of healthy soils and nutritious food to overall human health. Dan will share his insight into how management practices affect nutrient density in crops. We will show how the Bionutrient Meter can be used in the field to assess the crops in real time.
