Participants will learn how energy-oriented design and operation can impact the resilience (the capacity to recover quickly from challenges) and long term success of farm operations, as well as identify common energy strategies for farm viability and resilience.
Changes in climate, technology, economic environments, and our level of understanding have given rise to the opportunity to better address the energy needs and impacts of the agricultural sector. This webinar will discuss the changing farm energy context, and give examples of strategies that can be used to improve a farm’s energy resilience. Topics to be covered include:
- Opportunities for energy to enhance farm resilience
- Strategies for field operations
- Strategies for farm structures
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA Northeast Climate Hub, which builds on capacity within USDA to deliver science-based knowledge and practical information to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
