REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHad you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Ryan Workman 4/17/2018 1:01 PMNo. The biggest advantage is that is provides the farmer with diversified income. It is more profitable than traditional grass management systems and the animals are healthier too.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodProducing uneaten food squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these motivates you the most to change your behavior regarding food waste?
Ryan Workman 4/17/2018 10:48 AMIn nature there is no such thing as waste. Waste is a man-made invention. Composting food waste is an excellent way to recycle the nutrients that would be lost in a landfill. However, if you have access to chickens, feeding food scraps to them is even better than composting because it offsets chicken feed with its associated costs and production inputs. -
