In this episode we explore the impacts of Title 2 - Conservation - of the Farm Bill. We talk with Dr, Amanda Rodewald of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Allan Gandelman, of Main Street Farms about the impact of conservation funding through the Farm Bill. The farm bill is the largest source of funding for private land conservation in the country. In this episode we learn how that funding is used to conserve land, what it means to conserve land, and some programs in NYS that help farmers and landowners to practice conservation.

Conservation and the farm bill

How can exploring one’s identity and self-purpose help youth get more out of programs, such as 4-H? Dr. Tony Burrow, associate professor in the Department of Human Development at Cornell’s College of Human Ecology shares his research on the benefits of helping youth think about long-term personal goals and self-identifying “their why” prior to introducing programming in clubs like 4-H. Tony is co-director of the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research Program for Research on Youth Development and Engagement (PRYDE), and a recent recipient of Engaged Scholar Prize from Engaged Cornell.
