Climate Smart Adaptation Strategies for Beginning Farmers
Starting Your Farm with the Climate in Mind
With a changing climate, it becomes more important for our farmers to be nimble and adapt to a variety of weather and temperature events. This is especially relevant for new and beginning farmers as they build their farms and create businesses that will ideally last throughout these new challenges. It’s important for these new farms to have the right groundwork for farms they are creating; so we have this new project to provide resources specifically for beginning farmers to adapt climate smart practices in their operations.
