Скачать или смотреть A Crash Course in Soil Science with Farmer Scott

Farmer Scott Koepke of Sugar Grove Farm gives a 14-minute crash course in all things soil in this high-pace video version of his regular Farmer Fair presentation.



This project was possible because of a USDA Farm to School Grant awarded to Iowa Valley RC&D. Iowa Valley RC&D and Field to Family are working with 4 school districts (Solon, Iowa City, Clear Creek Amana and Cedar Rapids), to increase the capacity for farm to school success. The project includes school food procurement planning and in school nutrition education programs.

Field to Family (www.fieldtofamily.org) is based in Iowa City and works to create a more local, healthy and sustainable regional food system. Field to Family’s Farm to School Program works to increase the amount of fresh, local food that students eat through our three projects: 1) adding more local foods to school lunches, 2) building school gardens and composting systems, and 3) providing food, agriculture, and nutrition education programs.

Iowa Valley RC&D (www.iowavalleyrcd.org) is a 501c3 non-profit based in Amana who works to grow local economies, strengthen food systems, foster protection and enhancement of natural resources, and develop awareness for the arts, history, and culture. The Iowa Valley RC&D’s expertise is in community food systems, planning, and placemaking.
