New Climate Smart Farming videos

Two new Climate Smart Farming videos are now available:

  • Agriculture and Adaptation – Profiles New York producers (dairy, apple, grape, CSA) and how they are adjusting their management to a changing climate.
  • Farming for Energy – Features two New York producers who have reduced their energy costs and carbon footprint: A dairy producer who constructed a methane digester and an apple orchardist who is powering his operation with electricity from wind and solar.

The videos were produced by James Monahan/ConservationBridge in collaboration with the Cornell Institute for Climate Change and Agriculture (CICCA) under project director James Lassoie in Cornell’s Department of Natural Resources. Additional support provided by the Northwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Team, the Lake Ontario Fruit Program, CCE Dutchess County, the Cornell Vegetable Program, Cornell Dairy and Environmental Systems Group, and Habitat Seven. Funding for this project provided by Federal Formula Fund Smith-Lever grant #1477656.
