Education and Outreach: Since 2015 MOFFA has conducted its annual in-depth education event, the Organic Intensives. In the year 2023 the topics for this event were "Keeping Outside the Box: A Comprehensive Understanding of Sustainable Beekeeping in Today's Declining Environment", "High Costs and Supply Scares of Nutrients - Strategies for Overcoming Organic Crop Fertility Challenges", "Diverse, Vigorous, and Hardy Fruits and Nuts: Native and Beyond". We sponsor and exhibit at major conferences throughout the state where we sell books about sustainable agriculture to support our mission both financially and by educating those who are interested in these issues. We partner with other organizations that are working to create a just, healthy planet and populace. We produce a quarterly newsletter which reaches over 1,800 individuals who have expressed interest in receiving it, and we maintain a website which provides information about organic and sustainable farming and educational, employment, and funding opportunities in the organic sector. The website hosts our guide to Michigan's organic and ecologically sustainable growers and farms. We have plans to update the website in 2024. 0 24686 Membership - MOFFA's membership in 2023 was 131, 100% of the prior year's membership. Though this is not a growing number of members, we were still happy to see the level of membership retained. Memberships help to build community as well as provide funding to pursue our educational programs. 0 1500 Policy - MOFFA endeavors to keep its members abreast of new and proposed legislation and regulation which affects the practice of sustainable agriculture and the availability of organic and sustainably grown food.
