Climate Change Technical Assistance

CISA offers climate change adaptation and mitigation technical support to help farms and farm-related businesses implement or expand practices that foster adaptation to climate change and contribute to the resilience of the local food system. We can provide direct technical assistance or help you find the assistance you need. The types of technical assistance we provide include consultations with experts, project design and planning, grant and project proposal review, and general advice and mentorship from CISA’s in house technical assistance providers and other farmers.  

Farms and farm businesses interested in improving and/or implementing climate change adaptation practices are encouraged to contact Stephen Taranto, Climate Program Coordinator, at stephen@buylocalfood.org and 413-665-7100, ext. 17.
