Louisiana CRAFT: On Farm Movement Workshop (Lafayette)

Geared toward farmers, this 2-hour movement workshop will provide participants with a better understanding of body mechanics and movement patterns in order to increase workforce productivity and help decrease workplace injuries. Time will be spent in an interactive atmosphere moving through four basic movement patterns: hinge, squat, push and pull, along with the importance of core stability. Each participant will leave with tips focused on ways to improve their overall movement patterning and work-related well-being. Q&A session to follow.

This workshop is co-sponsored by Louisiana CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance of Farmer Training)which aims to bring established and aspiring Louisiana and Gulf South agricultural producers and harvesters together for farmer-to-farmer training in sustainable agriculture. Louisiana CRAFT is supported by Sprout, Braiding Seeds Fellowship, the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).
