Stories of Hope Amid Ecological Crisis – Cultivating Hope and Joy in the Anthropocene

In “Cultivating Hope and Joy in the Anthropocene” Dr. Jeff Crane will closely examine the role of community farming as a strategy that builds community and ecosystem resilience while providing mitigation.

Dr. Crane intends to delve deeper to analyze the ways in which community farming can contribute to a narrative of hope while also providing joy for individuals and the community.
