Farm, Food, & Health FIG, May 6th, 2020 Meeting Notes

Attendance: Shannon, Mimi, Robert, Tara, Midori, Patrick, Tommy, Tanzina, Olympia, Jenny, Cris, Maya, Glenda, Gerry

This was a well-attended meeting that started with the Farm folks joining us for our online meeting. They expressed needs as their budget is anticipating unprecedented cuts. They requested assistance with grant writing, testimonials, and volunteer assistance (later when they have a process in place and particularly for those who have experience. We agreed that Wednesday, May 20th meeting would be dedicated to an in-depth discussion on how we can help the farm.

The rest of the meeting consisted of Shannon presenting a “Grow at Home/ seed starting” presentation as requested at prior meeting. There was a lot of interest for this topic and Shannon will host another session on Wednesday, May 20th, at 4pm for those who could not make it or had connectivity issues. This presentation was well received as it was educational and provided faculty and staff with an outlet during these difficult times (social distancing and quarantine due to COVID 19). Faculty and staff shared images and discussed what they were doing at home and shared tips and tricks. Presentation and supporting documentation was provided to all in attendance via email afterward.
