Week 5, Fall ‘20

On Monday, we inoculated our biochar and then had a team meeting about our goals for the farm! After our meeting, we researched agroforestry policy for Kate and the Savanna Institute, specifically about forestry commitments in the US. It’s fascinating to learn about the minimal agroforestry policy and brainstorm how implementing widespread policy could be beneficial for climate change mitigation. While a group of us worked on policy research, the rest of us tirelessly finalized one of our grant applications. We also started building our greenhouse raised beds. At night, we all came together to edit and submit our grant!
