Whole Farm Planning For Climate Change

Climate change is making our farms and our farm planning more unpredictable. It is
becoming increasingly important to address climate change considerations in our land
management planning and decision-making. This winter, join the Land Stewardship
Project and UMN Extension for a three-part training series targeted to specialty crop
growers. Through this series, you will be guided through a process of Whole Farm Planning for
Climate Resilience in order to:

• Learn more about the potential impacts of increasing climate variability and change on your agricultural operation.
• Evaluate climate risk management options that best support your farm and family goals by reducing risks and capturing new opportunities associated with changing climate conditions.
• Make a plan to implement selected climate resilience strategies and evaluate their effectiveness over time.
• 3-Part Series. Part 1: February 1 st 10:00-12:30 (online)/ Part 2: February 15th 10:00-12:30
