Impacts of Increasing Annual Temperatures for New England Farms

May 13 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Free

Join CISA and Sara Kelemen from the USDA Northeast Climate Hub on Monday, May 13th, 4-5:30pm for the annual Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change webinar and workshop series kick-off event.

The 2024 series focuses on the impacts of increasing temperatures throughout the year on specific parts of our food system, including soils, weeds and pests, farmworker health and safety, heat tolerant crops, urban farms and others.

Sara will share climate and temperature data from New England and discuss some examples of how temperature change will impact agricultural operations. Sara has been working on diversified farms for 8 years, and manages climate adaptation and mitigation planning programs for many types of farmers with the Climate Hub and other partners.

Through webinars and on-farm workshops, participants in this year’s events will learn about adaptation practices and how to implement them, hear from technical assistance providers and converse with farmers on their experiences making changes on their farms. See this year’s full schedule here and see you on the 13th!

This material is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2023-70027-40447.
