Farmer Projects 2025 We look forward to hearing about your projects! Think of this space as a journal space or blog for your year(s) of local adaptation. Posting Guidelines Initial Post: Kick off your topic with an introduction to your project. Please include: The species you’re working with The specific conditions you aim to adapt to The varieties you’ve chosen and the rationale behind these choices Monthly Updates: Commit to posting monthly updates in your topic. Post in the same ‘topic’ that you started, don’t start new topic for the same project. Your updates should cover: Your farming practices (watering, weeding, use of inputs, etc.) Observations on germination and survival rates Any notable resistance to climate variations or pests Overall production quality and quantity Selection Criteria: If your project involves selection beyond mere survival, elucidate the criteria you’re employing. Observations: Document any remarkable traits or adaptations you observe in your plants. Highlight individuals that exhibit exceptional qualities or better adaptation, earmarking them for future seed saving. Visual Documentation Photos and videos not only enrich your narrative but also serve as a critical educational tool for the community. Capture your journey as comprehensively as possible. A Collaborative Effort While the Farmer Projects 2025 category is primarily for documentation, interaction is limited to ensure you can focus on your projects without the need for extensive engagement. However, we encourage you to explore the rest of the community for discussions and exchanges with fellow members.
