Learn how climate change is affecting agriculture in the Northeast, and how Cornell University is developing new resources through its Climate Smart Farming (CSF) program to help farmers to make more informed decisions to increase resiliency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the face of climate change.
Participate in this training to learn about a new interdisciplinary applied research and extension project from Cornell University, in partnership with the USDA NE Climate Hub, that is working to better understand the key risks and opportunities to agriculture in the Northeast, farmer attitudes, and develop new resources and decision tools to help farmers manage their risk and take advantage of potential opportunities. Emphasis will be placed on the new climatesmartfarming.org website of resources, the CSF Extension team, farmer videos, and new online decision support tools that are being built with farmer input. The lessons learned from this interdisciplinary project are applicable nationally.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA Northeast Climate Hub, which builds on capacity within USDA to deliver science-based knowledge and practical information to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
