But the experiment does make the point, I think, that for all the school food improvements we've seen in our district (and I'm grateful for all
of them, don't get me wrong), there are still offerings that permit kids to make very poor
selections on the lunch line,
selections that may well have an
adverse impact on their health down the line.
Plant from multiple species, seed sources, and climate zones, particularly from locally - adapted sources Manage to maintain genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity Create opportunities for rapid natural
selection for species with high predicted potential for
adverse impacts from climate change (Sturrock et al. 2011; Erickson et al. 2012; Alfaro et al. 2014; FAO 2014) Plant drought tolerant and native species Retain diversity
of species and promote legacy trees Manage or restore mosaic (variable pattern
of species and ages) and maintain or improve landscape connectivity Plant in asynchronous rotations and manage for diverse age classes Thin, plant, and use prescribed fire to favor species adapted to disturbance (Millar et al. 2007; Vose et al. 2016; Keane et al. forthcoming)
