The Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership (ISAP) invites people to an interactive, two-part training on sustainable agriculture and conservation outreach strategies that will help you better understand how decision-making and behavior-change science influence conservation practice adoption. The Grow More Training was developed to help ag and conservation professionals learn and implement outreach that more effectively engages the middle adopter group of producers.
This hybrid Grow More training will be offered in two sessions, and attendance is required at both sessions in order to participate. Following a virtual session April 12 from 1 to 3 p.m. Central, participants can choose which in-person session to attend the following week based on their interest/expertise:
- April 18, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Soil Health and In-Field Practices
- April 19, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Water Quality and Edge-of-Field Practices
In these highly interactive sessions, participants will have the chance to share and learn about outreach experiences with others and develop a strategy for reaching new audiences. This opportunity is being hosted with support from the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council (NREC) and training provided by The National Wildlife Federation (NWF). Space is limited so register today! For more information, contact Helen VanBeck, Midwest program assistant, American Farmland Trust, at HVanBeck@farmland.org
