This week and next week, CFAES’s OSU Extension outreach arm and Ohio State’s Initiative for Food and AgriCultural Transformation (InFACT) program are hosting a series of meetings called “Ohio SMART Agriculture: Solutions from the Land.” You’re invited to attend.
The purpose of the meetings, according to their publicity, is to get “feedback from Ohio producers and agriculture stakeholders to help identify, design and deploy strategies to support sustainable agriculture in Ohio.” Specifically, it should be agriculture that will “feed not only the world, but especially our most vulnerable neighbors right here in Ohio.” The goal is to develop an “action plan for resilient agriculture.”
The first meeting took place on Monday, March 5, in Piketon. But there are four more still on the docket:
- Thursday, March 8, in Springfield
- Wednesday, March 14, in Bowling Green
- Thursday, March 15, in Wooster
- Friday, March 16, in Lancaster
Each meeting last three hours. Admission is free. For details, visit InFACT’s website or call Angela Latham, 614-354-7641.
