Approaching Nutrient Management in a Changing Climate

Thursday March 14th, 5:00-6:30 PM

Dynamic weather patterns brought about by a changing climate pose new challenges to producers throughout the Northeast. Among them is the question of how to appropriately manage nutrient availability in response to increased weather volatility. In this forum focused primarily on vegetable and berry farms, Becky Maden will discuss how to proactively approach nutrient management decision making leading up to and throughout a season. With a focus on understanding the ways in which extreme weather patterns impact farm fertility, we will explore how to apply farm management strategies to better build resilience into crop production systems. After her presentation, participants will engage in a facilitated discussion, sharing their experiences, successes, and challenges in adjusting nutrient management approaches in response to climate change. Come to listen, share your experiences, ask questions, troubleshoot, and be inspired about new systems that may make your own farm more climate resilient.
