Resilient Agriculture

The climate is changing. In order to adapt to the increasingly frequent droughts and intense storms that result from climate change, farmers must adapt (ideally in advance) the crops they grow and the practices they use. Winrock’s global experience tackling challenges like irrigation and seed selection is a benefit as local communities work to develop agricultural systems resilient to climate change.
