A visually-organized represetation of agricultural practices that have been scientifically demonstrated to benefit the climate, with each practice's estimated GHG savings.

This two-page research summary addresses the trade-offs rural communities face when increased flooding damages public and private land, and makes farming more risky. The authors also provide a link for teaching resources on this topic.

A short fact sheet summarizing how changing climate impacts dairy operations, and what can dairy farmers do to adapt.

Cover crops are a useful tool in managing the soil erosion and nutrient runoff problems caused by increasingly frequent heavy rains across the Northeastern U.S.

A case study of Clovercrest Farm, a small-scale dairy farm in Charleston, Maine, including the impacts of climate change on the farm and their adaptation strategies. Clovercrest Farm is pasture-based and milks 95 Jersey cattle on 250 acres.

A fact sheet on how climate change is impacting agriculture in the Northeast, primarily through increased incidence of drought, warmer winters and colder springs, and extreme rainfall.

This foundational resource helps agricultural producers and service providers in the Northeast and Midwest regions integrate climate change considerations and make action-oriented decisions.

Three fact sheets covering soil moisture monitoring, irrigation systems, and optimizing water use on diversified vegetable farms.

Summarizes how sea level rise and saltwater intrusion affect coastal farms, with links to additional resources.

Biochar basics: what it is, how it is produced, how it is applied, benefits for farms and the climate, and federal funding sources.

Farm managers speak about their diversified vegetable operation in Northford, Connecticut, and the changes that Cecarelli Farms has gone through to become both a more sustainable and efficient operation.
