PFAS in Home Gardens and Small Farms Webinar

Stay Informed!

Founded in 1970, the Ecology Center serves one purpose: protecting healthy people and a healthy planet. We believe that the central question of our time is how human beings are going to thrive in the world without destroying the earth's ability to sustain us. This can only be achieved as a strong movement. Sign up to receive emails about ways you can get involved, take actions and learn about important updates from the Ecology Center.

On April 20th, Ecology Center, alongside our partners at Great Lakes PFAS Action Network and Sanctuary Farms, hosted a webinar designed for home gardeners, small‑scale growers, and anyone concerned about PFAS in their soil.

Watch the recorded webinar to learn about sources of PFAS in composts and fertilizers, and the conditions that contribute to PFAS crop uptake. Listen to researchers share practical steps individuals can take to minimize PFAS in their gardens and small farms, along with options for addressing contaminated soil. Participants had opportunities to ask questions and left with resources for further action.
