Building Agricultural Resilience From The Ground Up with Dr. Aidee Guzman

$0.00$49.99

In this talk, Guzman presents her research on how on-farm diversification in an intensively managed landscape can bolster below- to above-ground biodiversity and their interactions on agroecosystems. She also discusses how sociopolitical barriers may attenuate the adaptive capacity of small-scale farmers of color to ecological stressors.

Suggested Sliding Scale Contribution $30 – $50 | 90 minutes | Registration after the live event includes access to the recording, chat, transcript and any other materials provided by the presenter. 

This workshop can be purchased as a stand-alone, or as part of a larger 12-month Resonance and Climate Online Series.

Description

In this talk, Guzman presents her research on how on-farm diversification in an intensively managed landscape can bolster below- to above-ground biodiversity and their interactions on agroecosystems. For this work, Guzman partnered with small-scale farmers implementing diversified farming practices (e.g. increasing crop diversity) but are often invisibilized in the monoculture landscape of California’s San Joaquin Valley. Guzman shares research on how crop diversification can support soil health (i.e. via beneficial microbes), pollinator communities (i.e. wild bees), and their interactions. She also discusses how sociopolitical barriers may attenuate the adaptive capacity of small-scale farmers of color to ecological stressors.
