This will be a chance to think through climate-related risks on your farm and make a plan to prepare for heavy rains, wind, drought, heat or floods. First, we will brainstorm the biggest concerns for your farm, such as crop stress from unpredictable rains, wind damage to hoophouses, heat risks for farmworkers and much more. Then you will make a few options for what you can do to keep people, plants, livestock and infrastructure safe on your farm. There will be a breakout room, discussions and shared documents to help you talk through your fears and inform your plans to prepare your farm for climate change. We will use these tools: https://www.adaptationfellows.net/resources-1 .
