Episode 1: FLOURISH Foundations and On-Farm Trials with Jason Bishop

Jason, Ryan, and Jodi discuss how the FLOURISH project all got started and its purpose, the background and changes to agriculture in the region in the last 100 years, the challenges of integrating cover crops and livestock in the Inland Pacific Northwest region, as well as farmers' ambitious goals to solve those challenges. FLOURISH is a farmer-led conservation innovation project to support the widespread adoption of soil health practices by integrating cover crops and livestock into farming operations. The ambitious purpose of FLOURISH is to not only regenerate our soils, but also regenerate our rural communities by creating opportunities for younger generations to return to productive, sustainable farms.
