USDA unveils new Climate Adaptation Plan

By June 24, 2024No Comments

Find the Plan here:  2024 Climate Adaptation Plan.  All too many Members of Congress are in denial about climate change, but facts are facts, and the need to help our lands adapt to changes in the weather cannot be denied.    Check with a farmer – he/she will tell you the land doesn’t hold water like it used to, the seasons are changing, and more.  See the changes in tornado patterns.  Or, venture outside and feel the elevated temperatures.  Wow!  100 degrees!

USDA’s practical plans include examples in agriculture and forestry like these:

  • Changes in farming and land management practices to build long-term resilience,
  • Strengthening disaster preparedness and recovery,
  • Increased access to useful and usable tools and technology and
  • Outreach and education to build adaptive capacity.
