In this case study, we look at approaches and related costs and benefits to growing milkweed. We provide an economic analysis of milkweed seed and floss production and look at potential demand.

A new report by NOAA provides updated predictions on the rate of sea level rise within the United States. When coupled with extreme tides and more frequent, intense storms, rising sea level is…

Improved pollinator habitat can increase the presence of native pollinators on working vegetable, fruit, and grain farmland. This can improve farm viability and climate change resilience.

A documentary film about three family-owned farming operations who are leaders in practices that promote healthy soils, which also safeguard working lands from climate change extremes.

Researchers on the Penobscot Experimental Forest in Maine are seeking to understand how prescribed burning and timber harvesting impact a forest already affected by climate change. Take this voyage…

Crop and livestock production lead to the unintentional release of greenhouse gases. Now, farmers can do something about that.

Researchers and farmers around the country are currently experimenting and collecting data on what crops, pollinator plants, and/or livestock situations work best with photovoltaic setups.…

It appears likely that CLT construction will prosper in the years and decades to come based on its’ capacity to cut emissions and “lock up” carbon.

Nutrient management guidelines have largely been developed to protect water quality, but practices that improve nitrogen (N) use efficiency by crops also help reduce emissions of the potent…

An 8-part educational series about climate change, how it is affecting agriculture in the U.S., and how producers can be resilient to those changes.

As farmers confront the challenges of climate change, you may be hearing the term “Climate-Smart Agriculture” brought up more often. But, where did the term “Climate-Smart Agriculture” actually come…

Heavy rain events are increasing across the Northeast, which can result in more nutrient leaching on farms. At UMES, researchers are studying permeable reactive barriers. Results from the research…
