SUMMARY:Regenerating California: Wrap-around Support Services for All Food Growers
DESCRIPTION:Despite a wealth of government\, nonprofit\, and private programs and investment\, CA family farms continue to disappear\, replaced by larger and less accessible corporate investors. The solution has always been in communities. What would an all-hands-on-deck and community-lead initiative look like. What if we invited everyone to the table to lift up local food producers. The goal is to build the local economy on the strength of new family farms who grow healthy food for their neighbors that need it most. The goal is to Regenerate California. \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Presented By:\n\n		\n	\nNathanael Gonzales-SiemensRegenerative & Organic Consulting Manager\, Pacific Region | Rodale Institute\n\n	\n					\n	\n		\n			Nathanael Gonzales-Siemens is returning to his roots and the spirit of discovery that first brought him back into farming after a decade of teaching in inner-city Los Angeles and in China and working for criminal justice reform on the West Coast. Nathanael spent his undergrad years studying Plant Genetics and Biology at UCLA and has a teaching credential for CSU Los Angeles. He grew up on a small farm in California’s San Joaquin Valley and founded two businesses there with his family. The first\, now run by his brother\, is focused on food justice and sovereignty and the second\, operated by his wife\, strives to implement regenerative farming practices and to equip and empower traditionally underrepresented groups. \nNathanael Siemens is an organic grower juggling a variety of crops\, fields\, and systems across California. He has a 150 acre farm in Modoc County and another 10 acres in Kern County. He is also working at the Rodale Institute’s new farm research center in Ventura County. \nHe grew up on a farm in Kern County but left for college and only returned to farming 15 years ago. When he first got back into farming\, he was doing management for other growers and didn’t have the capacity to change up existing practices. Later on\, he was hesitant to make big changes since the conventional system was already functioning. \nThis all changed during the recent drought\, when it became clear to Nathanael that conventional farming was no longer viable. He started thinking outside the box by doing dry farming and implementing practices that build up organic matter. He also started planting multiple crops at once so that they don’t all fail at the same time. \nRead more here.

SUMMARY:Boosting Bees & Recruiting Dung Recyclers
DESCRIPTION:From boosting bees to recruiting dung recyclers; exploring the ways sustainable pest management practices improve beneficial insect communities\nIn his career as an entomologist Jacob has worked with a diversity of farmers and ranchers on the role insects play in their operations. This workshop will explore some of these examples with a robust collection of data and amazing pictures that demonstrate the changes to an operation that can recruit and retain beneficial insects such as pollinators\, predator insects\, and even dung beetles. In many cases\, these practices simultaneously improve the profitability of many of these operations and often help mitigate the negative effects of insect pests\, sometimes in surprising ways! \n\n		\n	\n\n	\n		\n			Presented By:\n\n		\n	\nDr. Jacob PecenkaPost-doctoral Research Associate at Rodale Institute California Organic Center\n\n	\n					\n	\n		\n			Jacob is a research entomologist and agroecologist. He grew up in South Dakota and attended South Dakota State University for both undergraduate degree in biology and a MS in natural resource management. Jacob continued to a PhD in entomology at Purdue University where he studied the trade-offs that cucurbit growers face in managing insect pests while conserving insect pollinators and protecting crop yield. This multi-faceted project helped reduce the amount of insecticide applied to these cropping systems and aid in the preservation of pollinators\, especially wild species. Currently Jacob is working on several projects at the California Organic Center centered around the use of cover crops to help in vegetable production. Collecting data on soil health\, water retention\, weed pressure\, and insect pests to provide evidence to the viability of cover cropping systems can hopefully lead to wider adoption of cover crops as a solution to some of the troubles organic growers in the region face.
