REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Forest-Friendly Foods 2How difficult or easy was it to change your diet?
Carole Barnhart 4/12/2022 12:14 PMIt was easier once I learned that the single thing I can do to most effectively impact climate change is to change my diet. Also, I contacted a couple of manufacturers of products I use to inquire about palm oil use and shade-grown coffee.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Sinks Learn More about SilvopastureHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Carole Barnhart 4/11/2022 11:46 AMNo, I had not heard of it. It seems like the biggest advantage is health of both the animals and the land on which they are grazing. And more "product" can be produced on a single plot of land - both animal products and those produced by the trees on the land. As a bonus, silvopasture makes for an appealing visual scene!
