KEY METRICS
NOTABLE SUCCESSES
- “a collaboration of team members who might otherwise oppose one another on public policy issuesThis is the ESSENCE of what the SBC Food Action Network does! for example, but people coming together to improve the landscape and willing to use cattle”
- “Encouraging for the members but also the public, seeing how opposing factions can come together to meet common goals”
- Continued growth on land from the compost application
- More people becoming interested in carbon farm plans and healthy soils program, variety of practices funded through the program
- Started with 1 carbon farm, now up to 7, mostly because they have seen benefits from the Chamberlin ranch
- Because of the successes more people are interested, involved, and engaged, more interested in trying it out themselves
- “community education: challenge to get people out to the site to check things out, able to get 100+ farmers and ranchers out to the site to let people know about what we were doing, partnered with 4-5 farmers/ranchers to start similar projects, taking advantage of field days to get other people hooked in”
