The Dish: Restorative Agriculture

City Market and the Intervale Center have teamed up for their exploratory series called The Dish. With support from ArtsRiot, we host quarterly panel discussions to dive into hot food issues with the help of local experts.

When thinking about this Dish discussion, we are reminded of the quote: “fertile soil helps create nourishing food and, in turn, healthy people and robust communities.”  According to Farmers without Borders, regenerative agriculture is any kind of farming that enables the restorative capacity of the earth, improving soil fertility, increasing food production, enhancing vibrant communities and fair economies, and respecting the ecology of the natural world. This lively panel discussion will highlight Vermont growers and farmers -- from dairy and meat farmers to landscapers, and even native tree growers -- who return more to the earth than they take from it. You’ll also learn how you can start to practice restorative agriculture right in your own backyard
