Homesteading Academy: Native Plants for Every Garden RutgersNJAES 2023-06-14 | Did you know that many of our local nurseries and garden centers carry native plants? Selecting plant species for your landscape that are native to New Jersey can help to support populations of pollinators and songbirds. Many native species are pest and disease resistant and do not require much fertilizer or water to grow well because they are adapted to the environmental conditions in our area. This presentation will discuss low-input, native ornamental plants that are suited to various site conditions and can be found this spring at your local garden centers.Additional ResourcesIncorporating Native Plants in Your Residential Landscape | NJAES Factsheet https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1140/Native Plant Finder Tool | National Wildlife Federation nwf.org/nativeplantfinderJersey Friendly Yards jerseyyards.orgNative Plant Society of New Jersey npsnj.org

Lesson 5 - Greenhouse Gases After Food Leaves the Farm RutgersNJAES 2023-03-21 | Following two weeks focused on greenhouse gasses from agriculture, Lesson 5-a (followed by 5-b) goes into detail on how food’s post-farm journey leads to greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to global warming. The energy required to transport, process, package, and deliver food to stores is generated mainly by burning fossil fuels. Food waste is also extensive and leads to emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from landfills. The production stage for animal-based foods is clearly responsible for more greenhouse gases than the production stage for plant-based foods. After food leaves the farm, however, it is not necessarily the case that animal-based foods require more energy, and therefore generate more greenhouse gas emissions, than plant-based foods. Rather, food’s post-farm journey can be greenhouse-gas intensive for both animal-based and plant-based foods. What determines the greenhouse gas emissions after the production stage is how processed foods are. Highly processed foods have higher greenhouse gas emissions compared to minimally processed foods.
