3  Metadata for Deliverable 3: Connect on-farm practices to broader systems

3.1 Approach

To understand the relationship between shredded cardboard and broader cardboard production processes, environmental justice, and climate change, we will conduct 3 tours of industrial facilities and community farms, involving 15-20 people per tour. Tours will help us build connections and establish a 2-4 industry advisory panel with representatives from cardboard production, city/county waste management, and other related sectors to provice advice on our project.

3.2 Deliverables

We will connect shredded cardboard mulching practices to broader environmental justice and climate change adaptation efforts by establishing an industry advisory panel, conducting a literature review, and facilitating three tours per year to sites such as cardboard production, recycling, and composting facilities, garden networks, or community organizations addressing climate change.
