18. Garden History and the Role of Digital Communication in Extension with Dr. Rose Hayden-Smith
How can America's wartime victory gardens be reimagined to inform an increasingly uncertain future, and how can digital tools be used to create compelling narratives around food and farming? Dr. Rose Hayden-Smith - an Emeritus University of California (UC) Cooperative Extension Advisor in Digital Communications in Food Systems & Extension Education, the Editor of the UC Food Observer, and a Food and Society Policy Fellow - discusses how her journey through a Ph.D. in US history and working with many forms of technology led to a career in extension, how she started the UC Food Observer, and how gardens are an engaging first step towards uniting our communities and joining up the thinking between policy areas!
