Project Summary

The Climate Analogs Academy empowers Extension professionals to lead regional climate change adaptation in specialty crops. Agricultural professionals are paired with peers from target locations with current climates similar to the professionals’ expected future climate. The goal is to create a learning exchange that builds dialogue around technical information, develops strategic relationships, makes abstract future conditions more concrete and advances climate resilience.
