Planning, Adaptation Practices
The New England Adaptation Survey draws upon the experience of 193 fruit and vegetable growers surveyed in 2017 and 2018. It explores emerging adaptive management strategies, perceived climate related risks, and adaptive capacity.
Adaptation Practices
Powerpoints and proceedings from all presentations at the 2024 New England Vegetable and Fruit Conference in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
This foundational resource helps agricultural producers and service providers in the Northeast and Midwest regions integrate climate change considerations and make action-oriented decisions.
Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
This informative document explains the ways in which farmers can adapt to climate change, the potential current and future impacts of climate change on their farm, and how adapting will help them.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
Production, business, and funding resources from the University of Vermont.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
This guide introduces the principles of shiitake cultivation. It combines
insights gathered from professional growers, on-farm trial, and university-
based research all within the northeastern United States.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
Draws together a wide range of resources for farms in transition to more climate change resilient production, processing, storage and distribution practices. Includes videos, resilience planning, best practices, and resources for underserved farmers.
Adaptation Practices, Funding
Resources on Climate Smart practices, agricultural reports, maps, farmer assistance programs, grants and funding opportunities, networks, news, and events. Focused on the Upper Valley area of Vermont, but applicable to most Vermont farmers.
Adaptation Practices
A visually-organized represetation of agricultural practices that have been scientifically demonstrated to benefit the climate, with each practice's estimated GHG savings.
Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
The emphasis of this webinar will be placed on dairy, beef, small ruminants, and horses and the impacts that extreme heat, cold snaps, weather shifts, droughts, and excessive rain will have on the animal’s health and diet.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
This publication explores climate-related challenges to perennial fruit and nut production, including drought, frost, flooding, and extreme weather events. It discusses steps growers can take to build resilience into their farming operations.
Adaptation Practices
A webinar on collaborative modeling approaches available to assess the impacts of climate change on critical source areas of watershed nutrient pollution (e.g., N,P,TSS), how best management practices will perform under alternative climate trends.
Adaptation Practices
A list of fact sheets on climate change resources, with topics ranging from Agroforestry to Maple Syrup to Urban Forests and Climate Change.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
A summary of the effects of climate change on agriculture, agriculture's role, and mitigation; it describes pathways to mitigate climate change, while simultaneously building resilient systems to help farmers and ranchers adapt to unpredictable climate disruptions.
Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
This page collects research around reduced tillage topics for vegetables, including living mulch under organic acorn squash and Brussel sprouts, tarps to terminate cover crops, sorghum sudan grass residue as mulch for tomatoes, and more....
Adaptation Practices
Mulching is one of the simplest ways to increase soil organic matter, retain moisture, and suppress weeds in an agricultural system. Here, we share a few case studies about effective mechanization strategies for cut-and-carry mulching from participating farmers.
Planning, Adaptation Practices, Funding
This tool helps dairy producers think through the environmental impacts and business implications when considering implementation of different climate smart practices. Also, highlights different funding avenues for listed practices!
Planning, Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
This checklist helps employers identify their job-related risk factors for heat exposure, assess their preparedness, determine where challenges exist, and develop effective ways to control their heat-related risk and make their workplaces safer.
Adaptation Practices, Planning
This fact sheet outlines climate change challenges such as flooding, heat stress, and pest pressure, with practical farm adaptation strategies.
Climate Impacts, Adaptation Practices
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.
Planning, Adaptation Practices, Funding, Climate Impacts
This recording features a talk by Sara Keleman, who shares current data exploring climate trends and projected impacts on agriculture. At minute 1:10:10 Sara reviews several tools available for monitoring weather and implementing adaptive practices.
Planning, Adaptation Practices, Climate Impacts
This series of articles covers key topics for launching a new agroforestry project with a guided step-by-step process to evaluate your goals, assess the opportunities on your site, and get your trees off to the best possible start.
Adaptation Practices
In this article, we highlight four case studies from farms of varying sizes and production goals to showcase the opportunities and challenges of adopting living aisle systems.
Planning, Adaptation Practices
