Overview
The Risk to Resilience program offers growers the opportunity to learn about changing weather patterns specific to our region, improve farm planning and resilience skills, and foster relationships with others looking to build sustainable and resilient operations.
Risk to Resilience is run in partnership with fruit and vegetable production educators at the University of Minnesota Extension. Other partners include the Land Stewardship Project and the Organic Fruit Growers Association.
Current workshops
Are you a crop producer interested in integrating small grains into your rotation as a way to build resiliency in the face of increasingly extreme weather, volatile markets, and a sometimes-overwhelming workload?
The “Rotating into Resiliency” winter workshop series will help participants navigate the agronomic, economic, managerial, and environmental challenges of diversifying their operations.
The series will consist of three sessions that will be offered in a hybrid format — there will be an option to participate in-person at the Land Stewardship Project's offices in Montevideo and Lewiston, Minn., as well as online.
First three Thursdays of February — Feb. 5, 12, and 19, from noon to 2 p.m
