October 2022 Climate Resilience Training for Oregon Ag Professionals

Expand Your Toolbox for Oregon Growers
9:30-11:30am - 10/05, 10/12, 10/19, and 10/26
FREE! Remote & LIVE!
Zoom Registration Coming Soon.
Goals:
-
Provide an interactive training for Oregon agricultural professionals to advance knowledge of farm-based solutions for climate resilience. These solutions reduce risks from extreme weather events, store more carbon in the soil and work for a farmer’s bottom-line.
-
Create a community of practice in Oregon dedicated to supporting, improving, and better understanding farming and ranching for climate resilience in Oregon.
WHO:
Our primary audience is agricultural technical service providers, farm advisors and researchers throughout Oregon. For example: OSU Extension, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Oregon Natural Resource Conservation Service, Watershed Councils, Land Trusts, researchers, non-profits, and agricultural education providers.
WHAT:
A series of virtual trainings to increase knowledge of technical service providers to support growers in their efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change
Supported by:
Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Oregon Professional Development Program (WSARE PDP)
