Description:
Once a month, OATS hosts a facilitated discussion on Zoom on a topic relevant to organic agriculture advisors. The discussion was facilitated by Nate Powell-Palm. Participants who join live can ask questions and engage in discussion with the guest speaker, facilitator, and other participants. These are designed to foster interaction between agricultural professionals, as well as providing opportunities for them to get questions answered on many topics associated with organic field crop production. The calls are recorded and posted to the OATS YouTube channel for asynchronous viewing.
