November: What's Cooking from the Garden?
Our most recent CABI Climate Justice Task Force updates have focused on Fall planting guides and composting, helping to prepare the soil for continued resilience gardening. But how about this season's harvest and its nutritious cuisine possibilities? Pictured here are two examples from Rachel Piscette and Jill Giegerich. You can follow us and view many more CABI members' gardens, harvests, and meals (and/or post pictures of your own) on Facebook and Instagram at #cabigardener.
We continue to work and learn about permaculture, soil regeneration, and related issues around food security as part of our activities. A CABI Climate Justice page on CABI's website is on our to-do list...stay tuned!
November: Bal Tashchit in the Garden
Consistent with our Jewish values of Bal Tashchit (The Torah prohibits wasteful destruction) and Sh’mirat Ha-Teva (Protecting Nature—Preserving and protecting our world keeps it safe, healthy and more beautiful; each person can make a difference!), the CABI Climate Justice Task Force continues its efforts to pursue “resilience gardening” to address food insecurity and share ways that we all can reduce/reuse/recycle materials and resources.
