Meet our LEAD Maryland Class XIII Fellow! Today's spotlight is on Darryl Glotfelty. Darryl is co-owner of Meadow Mountain Hemp and Meadow Mountain Microgreens & Edible Flowers. Q: In what ways do you see yourself fostering collaboration and innovation within your industry or community, especially in light of the new issues you've encountered? A: "One of the main takeaways from my LEAD experience thus far is the importance of land preservation and use. Whether we are talking about the equestrian industry, solar and data centers, or management of our state forests, the way we preserve and utilize land can be unique and varied. One idea that was triggered by our three seminars was the possibility of collaboration with solar firms to introduce and research agrivoltaics with industrial fiber hemp. This would not only increase revenue generated per acre, but could also provide hundreds of acres of fiber hemp necessary to feed an industrial hemp processing plant. Ideally, 1500-2000 acres of fiber hemp per year would be grown to provide enough output to sustainably run a small/medium size hemp processing facility. Growing hemp on previously mined grounds could bolster land restoration efforts in Appalachia, while also providing an economically viable crop if proper infrastructure is in place for processing. Figuring out ways to concurrently promote the growth of a new crop, while also knowing processing capacity is limited, makes this a difficult task. I plan to continue to advocate for innovative ways to make this vision come to fruition."

research indicates that suspended pavements utilizing load bearing modules like #silvacell out perform all types of structural soils. How do you value the better system? how do you accurately compare structural soils and suspended pavements?

Nature and agriculture can, and should co-exist. But nature repair on farms needs to be strategically designed to ensure it enhances farm productivity and mitigates risks. The large expanses of farmland in Australia offers a huge opportunity to sequester carbon, rebuild habitat and bring threatened species back while making farms more resilient and productive. This is win win and brings both private and public benefits. But farmers need more (and more flexible) support to do the nature repair work that is so urgently needed. Responsible agriculture should be celebrated for its role in food security and nature protection. But the narrative around farmers and nature is still, mostly negative. Here’s an article featuring some of our work with farmers in the mid north, SA. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. John Fargher Katherine Maitland https://lnkd.in/gz58RPzM

Check out this bird’s-eye view of the new University of Florida Whitney Marine Research Institute Building. Expected to be complete in Summer 2025, the cutting-edge facility is replacing a 45-year-old lab, offering: ? 12 state-of-the-art faculty research labs ? Collaborative spaces for students and staff ? Integration with a world-class seawater system ? A sea turtle hospital and discovery lobby to connect the public with conservation and scientific innovation This project also marks Wells’ first field crew in Florida to install the prefabricated wall panels, enclosing this modern hub for marine science.

Ryan brings up a good point about the ability to keep supplies on hand. #SupplyChain taught us the devastating impact to businesses when supplies are delayed and projects are unable to move forward. It's tricky to determine the impact of "just in time" vs. "project complete" . I love to hear what changes are happening in the industries. Great video, Ryan.
