Fellow Report: In addition to regular meetings with our project catalysts Chuck Hibberd and Dyremple Marsh, the project focus continues to intersect with urban agriculture work going in other parts of Extension. Drew Carson from UDC shared his project proposal with the Southern Region NUEL Urban Agriculture Quarterly Zoom on November 19th and Molly Immendorf worked with us to host a "virtual chat" on November 30. Link to the virtual chat can be accessed here. Experience(s) working with your Catalysts and Key Informants: Our catalysts are great. They are always positive and supportive while also challenging us with new ideas and ways of thinking about issues. Significant results: ● The Southern Region NUEL Zoom had an audience of 28 agents and educators. ● The Virtual Chat had 19 participants. Link to feedback here. Anticipated work for the next reporting period (December 1, 2021 - February 28, 2022): ● The most important task for next quarter will be to recruit and hire a student to begin the research and writing process. ● Outcomes include a Literature Review, journal articles, eFieldbook.
