This guide discusses where to find and buy locally grown foods.Item "Match Made In Heaven" Integrated Crop and Livestock Farmers Survey, North Central U.S., 2023-2024(2024-09-12) Meier, Erin; Jewett, Jane; DiGiacomo, Gigi; Paine, Laura; Fenn, Amy; jewet006@umn.edu; Jewett, Jane; University of Minnesota Dept. of Applied EconomicsThis survey is part of the Match Made in Heaven (MMIH) project that seeks to foster re-integration of livestock and grain production systems in the North Central, U.S. Region by generating information on producer production practices, attitudes, and goals. One of the project deliverables were qualitative results from this producer survey which will be used to help guide the development of educational programming and other activities aimed at promoting environmental, economic, and social benefits of integrated livestock and crop systems in the North Central, U.S. Region.Item North Circle Project(2008) Dietel, RandallItem Omega Food Cooperative Report.(2001) Kuyava, JenniferItem Pomme de Terre Food Co-Op(2008) Hartke, AlisonItem Research from pod to pod: Harvest time optimization of shatter-resistant pennycress, camelina integration into the corn-soybean rotation, and communicating science via podcast.(2022-10) Cubins, JulijaCorn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) dominate the agricultural landscape in the Upper Midwest, but limits crop production to the summer months. There is a fallow period from late autumn through the spring that is associated with externalities such as nutrient loss and a lack of economically-viable crop production despite useable growing degree days during that period. Thus, pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) and camelina (Camelina sativa L.) are crops of interest for use during the corn-soybean fallow period. While both crops have been researched heavily for the past decade, questions about their production remain unanswered. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to further understand how pennycress harvest can be optimized for use within the corn-soybean rotation; observe the agronomic and economic dynamics when camelina is integrated into the corn-soybean rotation as a winter cash crop; further describe the effect of camelina in nutrient loss prevention over the typically-fallow period; and assess the role of camelina in the corn-soybean carbon cycle. All agronomic experiments were carried out over the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons. The pennycress experiment was conducted in Rosemount, MN, USA, while the camelina experiments were conducted in Morris and Rosemount, MN, USA. However, the research process does not end after data collection, analysis, and publication. For many scientists, there is a growing need to communicate findings with the general public rather than just to academic peers and industry and government stakeholders. This dissertation also explores the use of podcasting as a science communication medium though an experiential project, Hooked on Science.Item Sustainable Agriculture Newsletter Winter 2016 Volume 24 Issue 1(2016) University of Minnesota, Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Agriculture Research and EducationItem Sustainable Farming Association: Making a Difference for Farmers in Minnesota(2001) Vatovec, ChristineItem Sustaining Green Space in the Rural-Urban Fringe: A Landowner's Guide(2001) Zaro-Moore, KylaItem Tracking 'Organic' Agricultural Research in the United States, 1970-1989: What Federal Legislative and Selected USDA Documents Reveal(The Haworth Press, 2007) Delserone, Leslie M.; Bernholz, Charles D.This paper enumerates Federal government documentation of the period 1970-1989 pertaining to organic agriculture in the United States, identified in the Congressional Information Service’s Cumulative Indices and bibliographies published by the United States National Agricultural Library. These Congressional hearings, Federal legislation, and selected U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-sponsored documents provide an historical context for the 1990 legislation that created the National Organic Program (NOP) and the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). The paper provides chronological tabulations of the historical documents and discusses the communication difficulties and relationships revealed therein between the Congress, the USDA, and organic producers of the time.
