Conserving the Foundation of Our Food System
Join Food + Farm Exploration Center for a hands-on exploration of the two most vital resources in agriculture: soil and water. In the first half of the clinic, scouts will learn to identify soil types and explore how farmers protect against erosion while feeding the world. In the second half, we dive into the water cycle, studying watersheds, aquifers, and land management. It’s a deep dive into how innovation and conservation go hand-in-hand. Registration available soon!
