Soil-to-Skin: Rebecca Burgess of Fibershed on Building Community

ATTRA - Voices from the Field

This episode of Voices from the Field begins our “Soil to Skin” podcast series, in which NCAT Carbon Farm Planners Allison Cooley-Agee and Danielle Duni explore the relationships between soil health, fiber production, and market solutions.

The series is part of NCAT’s Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership with Colorado State University, Carbon Cycle Institute, Fibershed, Seed2Shirt, and New York Textile Lab. The Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership is funded by USDA’s Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities.

Allison and Danielle talk about the project with Rebecca Burgess, the Executive Director of Fibershed, about building community around grower-to-grower networks to help producers become “economically, ecologically, and socially successful.”
