We kickstart our workshop series on regenerative agriculture with “Regenerative agriculture in nut tree orchards of Central Valley: Future directions”. This is the first in a series of three workshops we are organizing in Central Valley during winter 2024-2025. Join us at the Burroughs Family Farms and participate in a discussion about current knowledge gaps, concerns, questions, and experiences with the implementation of conservation practices in nut tree orchards in your region. You have an opportunity to provide your insight and share your experiences to help define ongoing research and extension efforts.
