SUMMARY:Webinar: Why a Mega-Dairy Moratorium is Needed in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Mega-dairies play a major role in driving dairy farmers off the land across the country\, including in Oregon. They over-produce and flood the market with cheap milk\, while externalizing their environmental and social costs\, making it hard for small dairy farmers to compete. Forty years ago\, Oregon was home to more than 4\,000 dairies\, mostly small\, family-owned businesses. Now just over 200 remain. \nA ‘timeout’ on new and expanding mega-dairies in Oregon is the place to start leveling the playing field. \nThis 2021 legislative session\, alongside the Stand Up to Factory Farms coalition\, Senator Michael Dembrow (D-23) and Representative Rob Nosse (D-42) are introducing legislation to enact a mega-dairy moratorium in Oregon and protect our air\, water\, climate\, rural communities\, small farmers\, and animal welfare from the harms of this destructive industry. \nJoin FoFF for a conversation on how passing a mega-dairy moratorium in the 2021 legislative session can protect our communities from the harms of mega-dairies and learn what you can do to support this important legislation.

SUMMARY:Overcoming water challenges in agriculture – Canadian Perspectives on #SOFA2020
DESCRIPTION:The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and McGill University invite you to a special webinar on Overcoming water challenges in agriculture – Canadian Perspectives on #SOFA2020. \nIntensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus\, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater\, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time\, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water. \nJoin to learn about global and Canadian approaches to overcome water challenges in agriculture!

SUMMARY:Nature Night: A Closer Look at Microplastics
DESCRIPTION:The large majority of plastic pollution\, which is found in oceans\, rivers and streams\, and on land\, is comprised of tiny particles and fibers smaller than five millimeters in size. It breaks down from larger plastic debris and is even shed from our clothing. Many of these microplastics are so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope. Join Deschutes Land Trust and Dr. Susanne Brander of Oregon State University to explore the tiny world of microplastics\, including how these miniscule particles are detected and their potential effects on the natural world. Dr. Brander will also offer ideas about what we can do to stem the plastic tide. This presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online.

SUMMARY:Webcast: A First Look at Oregon's River Democracy Act
DESCRIPTION:Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley introduced the Oregon River Democracy Act of 2021 to better protect clean drinking water sources\, recreational opportunities\, and wildlife habitat. This historic bill proposes expanding Oregon’s network of Wild & Scenic Rivers by nearly 4\,700 miles and would protect segments of numerous key rivers across the state\, from the desert streams of Owyhee country to the roaring rivers of the Coast Range. \n  \nThis legislation is the result of a groundbreaking grassroots nomination\, multi-year vetting process\, and the work of hundreds of activists and river enthusiasts cheerleading for their backyard rivers\, drinking watersheds\, fishing holes\, hiking trails\, kayak routes\, and love of the wildlands and rivers of Oregon. \nJoin Oregon Wild and the Oregon Natural Desert Association give an overview of this incredible legislation and the historic opportunity it presents to protect our rivers as a legacy for future generations.

SUMMARY:How can we produce food and take action for climate and natural resources?
DESCRIPTION:Nature-based Solutions in agriculture are a critical solution for positive change. Farmers\, ranchers\, and food producers are on the frontlines of climate change\, and play an important role in developing and implementing solutions. Climate and biodiversity actors are increasingly seeing agriculture as a central solution set and they are engaging the agricultural community to solve our collective challenges.\n\n\nWhen deployed properly\, Nature-based Solutions can provide a triple benefit: improving the productivity and resilience of agriculture\, mitigating and adapting to climate change\, and enhancing nature and biodiversity.\n\n\nFAO and The Nature Conservancy collaborated to explore the potential of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the much-needed transformation of our food systems\, delivering nutrition for people while restoring nature and the climate. This collaboration has generated three reports addressing NbS in agricultural production systems: 1) A literature review on the state of the science\, 2) a policy brief on the case and pathways for adoption\, and 3) a finance guide for identifying and creating investable projects.
