Our Farms, Our Stories: The Results
Presenting the results of an engaged learning project in which students interviewed farmers and community leaders to help Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County better understand an increasingly diversified regional farming industry.
The Community Development Society and National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals joint conference is a networking and engagement opportunity for community development professionals from around the world. At this conference, the Cornell team is discussing the Our Farms, Our Stories project, which is a collaboration among faculty, students and community partners to interview farmers and community leaders in an effort to better understand and support an increasingly diversified regional farming industry and its contribution to broader community and economic development. This presentation addresses the campus-community partnership that was integral to this project, as well as the ways in which the project catalyzed faculty-extension partnerships involving students and responded to the needs of the agricultural community.
