The Climate Forums are brought to you by NOFA-VT and MOFGA. This event is one in a three-part series discussing flooding, excess precipitation, and farm resilience.
Climate Adaptation Planning is a useful tool to assess risks and identify strategies to increase resilience and mitigate the impacts of climate change. This session will discuss the process of climate adaptation planning with a focus on the impacts of flooding and high precipitation conditions, and we’ll hear from a farmer who will share their experience working through this process and how it has informed their thinking.  Â
