Climate Resilience on Urban Farms: Adapting to Extreme Heat
ZoomAs part of their annualĀ Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change series, CISA is presenting a webinar on how urban farms can adapt their growing practices to increased and prolonged heat events. In partnership with UMASS Urban Agriculture staff and featuring a panel of urban growers, the webinar will focus on how growing practices are being adapted, how other tools like green infrastructure are being used to increase vegetative cover and conserve water, and how to reduce heat stress on workers and the public that may visit sites. The webinar will also provide an opportunity for participants to share best practices, and discuss challenges and potential solutions.
