CRAFT + TUFFS Year-end Farmer-to-Farmer Gathering

December 16, 2022
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Brooklyn, NY

CRAFT + TUFFS Year-end Farmer-to-Farmer Gathering
All NYC urban farmers are invited to celebrate the season at this year's final CRAFT visit (hosted by East New York Farms!) combined with a revival of The Urban Farmer-to-Farmer Summit (aka TUFFS)! There'll be snacks, a seed swap, a farm tour, and some TUFFS-style story-and-skill-sharing. But most importantly, we're just going to hang out, meet the other urban farmers we've never met, catch up with folks we haven't seen in a while, and have a good time.

New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.

NYS Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment

As part of a multi-year project exploring non-spray pest management options that are economically and environmentally sustainable for urban farms, we conducted a needs assessment with urban growers across New York State. The New York State Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment presents findings on current pest management practices, challenges, and topics of future interest.
