SUMMARY:Healthy Soils for Healthy People
DESCRIPTION:Research has suggested that healthy soils can benefit human health\, via transfer of beneficial microbes from the soil to the skin. What are the characteristics of healthy soils\, and do these characteristics align with the soils tended by Oregon gardeners? This talk will provide an overview of what is known as the ‘hygiene hypothesis’\, and how this relates to healthy garden soils.  OSU will present data gathered from the soils of Oregon gardeners\, as well as share initial results on a study looking at how garden soils might (or might not) influence the skin microbiome of Oregon gardeners. \nRegistration information to come.

SUMMARY:InFARMation Fall Series:  Uncovering the Dirty Parts of Farming
DESCRIPTION:Join FoFF’s for their last session of  InFARMation Fall Series. They will focus these important conversations on climate change and will deep dive into drought and water issues\, bio gas and dry farming. We know that climate change impacts all of our lives and Oregon’s family farmers are already feeling the effects from worsening storms\, increased wildfire\, and rising average summer temperatures. Agriculture is often mentioned as a huge source of greenhouse gasses\, but that is most true for industrial agribusinesses\, not family farms. \nWe are excited to hear from farmers and others in the food system network to find out what the real concerns are and the work they are doing to move towards a more climate neutral future. Our local farmers play an important role in this global climate crisis and agriculture offers some promising solutions in our fight against climate change. This series is virtual\, and as always\, FREE and everyone is welcome. We hope to “see” you there!

SUMMARY:A Firsthand Account: The Crisis at the Border
DESCRIPTION:Julio Ricardo Varela’s many years covering issues and events directly impacting the Latino\, Hispanic and Latinx communities have positioned him as one of the leading voices when addressing the migrant situation at the southern border. In the last few years we have seen the largest flows of migration at the U.S. – Mexico border since the mid-2000’s and the U.S. Government is now tasked with tackling one of America’s most pressing issues that has no sign of slowing down or going away. In this inspiring keynote\, Julio Ricardo Varela will tackle the stories from the border that the mainstream media tends to ignore\, and will share the latest firsthand accounts of those battling one of the country’s most misunderstood and misinformed issues.

SUMMARY:Other Side of the Hill film screening
DESCRIPTION:Where can East & West\, Republicans & Democrats\, find the common ground needed to address climate change? How can industry and  environmentalists work hand in hand? And how can local economies find opportunity in a lower emissions future? \nOTHER SIDE OF THE HILL explores the impacts of a changing climate in rural Eastern Oregon as seen through the eyes of local leaders on the ground. From innovative timber operations to large scale solar\, this film amplifies the voices of rural communities often left unheard\, and\nshines a light on stories of progress and hope. In a time of perceived cultural divide between rural and urban\, left and right\, young and old\, we discover common ground in an urgency to address a changing landscape. \nJoin us as we watch this film and discuss how we in Deschutes County can find a future for clean energy. We’ll be joined by Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang to kick off the event and Nick Johnson and Jim Walls\, two of the featured leaders in the film\, will join us for a panel discussion following the film screening. \n  \nRegister here! \n  \nThis event is cohosted with:
