Climate Change Adaptation
Climate change presents agriculture with significant opportunities and challenges both now, and over the next 20+ years. This includes but is not limited to, longer growing seasons, new crops and increased potential for heat-loving varieties. It also means that we are now more susceptible to new pests and diseases and that crops and livestock will be facing more frequent and severe, extreme-weather events.
