Sin embargo, la pérdida de hábitat en las zonas urbanas es un factor determinante de la disminución de insectos. Las pequeñas granjas urbanas y los jardines comunitarios son excelentes lugares para agregar bolsillos de hábitat nativo, franjas, setos, jardines y más. Al mismo tiempo, estos hábitats pueden diseñarse para ofrecer muchos beneficios adicionales para la vida silvestre, la producción de cultivos, la calidad del agua, la gestión de aguas pluviales, la educación y la comunidad. Cultivar alimentos en espacios urbanos no es una práctica nueva, pero su presencia está aumentando en muchas ciudades a medida que más personas toman un papel activo en el origen de sus alimentos y en el mejoramiento de sus comunidades y el medio ambiente. La parte 4 de esta serie de seminarios web cubrirá los problemas de la pérdida del hábitat de los polinizadores en los paisajes urbanos y las soluciones para mejorar la conservación del hábitat y los polinizadores, al mismo tiempo que aborda otros desafíos de conservación y cambio climático. Los presentadores destacarán prácticas y técnicas que puede usar en su pequeña granja urbana o jardín comunitario para aumentar la biodiversidad nativa y atraer polinizadores e insectos benéficos. Además, los participantes aprenderán sobre la iniciativa de granjas urbanas y pequeñas de NRCS, los programas de asistencia técnica y financiera y las prácticas recientemente disponibles para granjas urbanas. El seminario web concluirá con un estudio de caso sobre la evaluación de trigo sarraceno, lino y phacelia como servicios ecosistémicos en Florida presentado por el orador invitado Roberto Luciano, agrónomo estatal. Conserving Pollinators and Climate Smart Habitat Plantings on Urban Farms and Community Gardens - Spanish Language Webinar Series (Part 4) NOTE: This webinar will be presented in Spanish. In the last webinar of this 4-part series, participants will learn about habitat loss in urban landscapes and solutions for improving habitat to protect pollinators while also addressing other conservation and climate change challenges, practices you can use on your small urban farm or community garden to increase native biodiversity and attract pollinators and beneficial insects, NRCS urban and small farm initiative and technical and financial assistance programs, and we will conclude with a case study on Buckwheat, Flax, and Phacelia Evaluation as Ecosystem Services in Florida. Urban landscapes are diverse and can provide unique habitat opportunities for pollinators and other beneficial invertebrates. However, habitat loss in urban areas is a driving factor of insect decline. Small urban farms and community gardens are great locations to add in native habitat pockets, strips, hedgerows, gardens, and more. At the same time, these habitats can be designed to offer many added benefits for wildlife, crop production, water quality, stormwater management, education, and the community. Growing food in urban spaces is not a new practice, but its presence is increasing in many cities as more people are taking an active role in where their food comes from and the betterment of their communities and environment. In the last webinar of this 4-part series, participants will learn about issues of pollinator habitat loss in urban landscapes and solutions for improving habitat and pollinator conservation while also addressing other conservation and climate change challenges. The presenters will highlight practices and techniques you can use on your small urban farm or community garden to increase native biodiversity and attract pollinators and beneficial insects. In addition, participants will learn about the NRCS urban and small farm initiative, technical and financial assistance programs, and newly available practices for urban farms. We will conclude with a case study on Buckwheat, Flax, and Phacelia Evaluation as Ecosystem Services in Florida presented by guest speaker Roberto Luciano, State Agronomist, Gainesville, FL No publisher jryan Insects & Pollinators 2023-09-06T19:19:58Z Webinar https://forestrywebinars.net/webinars/building-relationships-and-meeting-needs-of-small-farming-operations USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center Small Farm Assistance Webinar Series, Part 1 Participants will learn about strategies and techniques to address the needs of small farming operations.
