Climate Change Adaptation and Preparedness Workshop

How can your land be better prepared for increasingly unpredictable weather, changing pest pressures, and extreme climate events?

Join Farmers Rising for a hands-on field day where they’ll walk through their Climate Adaptation Plan and guide you through developing a climate resilience strategy for your own farm or property. Participants will explore practical, farm-scale approaches to reducing risk, improving resilience, and preparing for future challenges.

Topics will include:

Developing a climate adaptation plan: process, goals, and implementation
Assessing climate risks and opportunities on your farm
Tree plantings and agroforestry practices
Water use tracking, conservation, and drought preparedness
Shade structures for livestock, workers, and crops
Invasive species management, including weeds and pests
Disease monitoring and prevention strategies
Preparing for extreme heat, drought, flooding, and severe weather
Building resilience through infrastructure, management, and long-term planning
After touring Farmers Rising’s adaptation projects, participants will have time to begin developing their own farm climate action plan with guided support and discussion.
