This process resulted in a new aggregated resource: the Local Food System Practitioner and Educational Resource Database. Included in this database is a core competency matrix that distinguishes three levels of learning for each competency so that practitioners can identify learning opportunities most closely tailored to their educational needs. It also serves as a framework and competency matrix for educators to use to help assess and communicate the learn­ing out­comes of their curricula. This framework is the overall concept for understanding the compe­ten­cies, and the matrix is the tool developed to assess and evaluate the level at which an educa­tional resource teaches a competency. In this article we apply the newly create core competency matrix to two existing local food system develop­ment courses. We share lessons learned from applying the matrix and insights gained from com­paring two introductory level courses. We con­clude with recommendations for improving the resource database and matrix to a more user-friendly model for educators and local food system practitioners.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Dankbar, Hannah and Long, Courtney and Bloom, Dara and Hohenshell, Kaley and Brinkmeyer, Emma and Miller, Bre}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={1–17} }

The economic and health crises created by COVID-19 forced specialty crop producers who sell to local markets, such as restaurants and institutions, to pivot their marketing plans as the growing season began to ramp up. This article reports the responses to the first in a series of producer surveys assessing the impact of the economic and health crises on crop production, market channels, and producer concerns during one of the most insecure times in modern history. Results show that producers who could pivot their marketing plans mostly increased sales through online channels and farm stands. However, almost 50% of the usual market channels were reported to be closed due to COVID-19. Additionally, most producers voiced concerns about economic and health safety in the immediate future. To address these concerns as the pandemic unfolded, there was a need for trusted information. Respondents reported that they rely on Extension and other government agencies for this information and updates regarding the pandemic. This survey captured the early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the specialty crop-producing industry in NC. Additional surveys will provide information on how the pandemic evolved during 2020.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Dankbar, Hannah and Phillips, Ethan and Cruz, Angela and Volk, Emma and Hoffmann, Mark}, year={2021}, month={Aug}, pages={1–11} }

As graduate students, we created the garden with a vision of enacting food justice in our community, but over the past four years we have experienced complexities with our vision. We found ourselves positioned between an emergency food system dependent on an industrial agrifood system and the ideals of food justice. In this article, we share the complexities with which we have wrestled, how we have encouraged thoughtful dialogue among fellow scholars about these shortcomings and the intricate workings of the agrifood system, and the lessons we have learned through these experiences as early-career scholar-activists. This article represents our collective and individual voices as graduate student garden leaders reflecting on: (1) the ways in which we strived to integrate social justice into our local emergency food system; (2) the paradox of industrial commodity-oriented production agriculture designed to ‘feed the world’, which neglects the production of healthy food that is locally produced and locally accessible; and (3) the holistic learning approach of combining academic studies with praxis. As students cycle through the graduate program, the garden and partnerships continue, and students take the lessons that they learn through this engagement into their careers and other activities.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Critical Thought and Praxis}, publisher={Iowa State University}, author={Dankbar, Hannah and Zimmerman, Emily K and Chennault, Carrie and Basche, Andrea and Nester, Jacqueline Ann and Pierre, Maritza and Roesch-McNally, Gabrielle}, year={2017} }
