Webinar: Impacts of Year-Round Increasing Temperatures on New England Farms

Join CISA and Sara Kelemen from the USDA Northeast Climate Hub for the 2024 “Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change” workshop and webinar series kick-off event. Sara will share climate and temperature data from New England and discuss some examples of how temperature change will impact agricultural operations. Sara has been working on diversified farms for eight years, and manages climate adaptation and mitigation planning programs for many types of farmers with the Climate Hub and other partners.

Each year, CISA’s Climate Program organizes the “Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change” workshop and webinar series with a focus on practical measures and resources that can help farms respond to extreme weather events that are the norm these days. This year’s series focuses on the impacts of increasing and sustained high temperatures around the year on specific parts of our food system, including soils, weeds and pests, farmworker health and safety, heat tolerant crops, urban farms and others.
