Climate Smart Farming In Action!
The Climate Smart Farming Video Project has been capturing farmer's personal stories about how extreme weather has impacted their farms and what changes they've made in response. Here is Wendy Burkhart-Spiegel of Common Thread Farm in Madison, NY discussing extreme weather and climate variability.
Thank You Donors!
Hello! I am an Undergraduate Research Assistant here at the Cornell Institute of Climate Change and Agriculture. As we approach the mid-point of our crowdfunding campaign, I wanted to personally thank you for your donation to the Climate Smart Farming program. This program is the first of its kind and an invaluable resource to farmers and stakeholders in the region for adapting their practices to increasing extreme weather and climate variability. The team behind the program is incredibly invested in its success and can not thank you enough for your own contribution to the success of the program.
Thank you so much!
