Climate adapative strategies

From 2023-2025, we will demonstrate Climate Adaptive Strategies at the NorthWest Research and Extension Center (NWREC) Learning Farm.

These experiential demonstrations will focus on drought-resilient and climate-adaptive production strategies and will include techniques such as:

  • Dry farming
  • Low and no-tillage
  • Tarping
  • Drip irrigation systems.

These techniques have been identified as crucial needs by our farmer networks in light of Western drought and wildfire conditions.
