University of Wyoming students get hands-on learning by volunteering on a 1.8-acre student farm run by Agricultural Community Resources for Everyday Sustainability. And the university’s program offers opportunities to learn more about many aspects of farming.

Then he stumbled upon the University of Wyoming nutrition and food safety team’s Facebook Live videos. From that came the idea of creating a webinar series to fill the education outreach void.
