Hear three exciting presentations during this session!
- Dairy Conservation Navigator: Simplifying Sustainability for Farms and Farm Advisors - Learn about and give feedback on Dairy Conservation Navigator, an online platform offering practical, credible insights to help farmers and advisors make informed sustainability decisions. It simplifies complex topics, providing clear information on the economic, management, and environmental impacts of various practices, making it a valuable resource for on-farm decision-making.
- Farmer Outreach Approaches for Reaching Beyond the Choir - Reaching farmers who are "beyond the choir" of those already engaged in conservation requires social science-based approaches. We will share three, interrelated outreach approaches to reaching segments of farmers who might be called the "moveable middle." The approaches facilitate farmer-to-farmer learning. Our evaluation data show these approaches help increase participating farmers' willingness to adopt practices. Learn insights to inform your farmer outreach!
- The Economic Case for Soil Health: Engaging Producers with Scientific Evidence and Real-World Case Studies - Need evidence on costs and benefits of soil health practices for crop and livestock producers? Learn about six 2-page research summaries and 20+ 2-page case studies from American Farmland Trust.
