American Farmland Trust, UVM Extension, and NOFA Vermont are collaborating to work directly with farmers to develop whole farm climate resilience plans—an approach that connects climate risk management with conservation practices and long-term farm viability. Contributors from these and other organizations are co-creating this database for farmers and ag service providers looking for high quality, specific resources for agricultural climate adaptation.
This website originated from a NIFA-funded collaboration between University of Maine and UVM Extension. In 2025, it was redesigned and revitalized by AFT's New England Climate and Agriculture team.
