  1. #Virginia - #ClimateChange and Its Effect on #Gardening – 2025

    By Elaine Mills, Extension Master Gardener, January 22, 2025

    Climate-Conscious Gardening

    "To quote David W. Wolfe, Professor of Plant & Soil Ecology at #CornellUniversity,
    'We are in the unfortunate situation of being the first generation of gardeners, ever, who cannot rely on historical weather records to tell us what our climate is, or what to expect in the future.'

    "Join Master Gardeners in the Arlington/Alexandria unit of Virginia #CooperativeExtension in a series of monthly articles updated from their original posting in 2021 as we explore the topic of climate change and practical actions individuals can take in their home landscapes in response. This month, we’ll present an overview."

    Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.

  3. Here is another brilliant Japanese example: how you can better integrate #LocalFarmers into the #FoodSystem with very short and flexible supply chains by also optimising the amount of fresh produce in the shops.

    Two key problems are tackled:
    - the amount of #FreshProduce delivered to the stores
    - #price optimisation
