Climate Resilience in Farming: Adapting to Extremes

SUMMARY - Climate Resilience in Farming: Adapting to Extremes

Farmers have always adapted to weather—that's the nature of agriculture. But climate change is shifting the parameters in ways that exceed historical variability. Growing seasons are lengthening in some regions while droughts intensify in others. Extreme weather events—floods, heat waves, early frosts—are becoming more frequent and less predictable. The adaptations that worked for previous generations may not suffice for what's coming.
