Aquaculture or sea farming, is connected to the health of ocean ecosystems and is impacted by the effects of climate change. To support this growing industry within the Gulf of Maine region, it is…

Our changing climate is resulting in increasingly unstable conditions for bees. These challenges make the prospect of storing bees in facilities with controlled, consistent climate conditions more…

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.

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.

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.…

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…

Monarch conservation has inspired people across North America to protect and enhance pollinator habitat. Here are some resources for supporting monarch conservation.

Aquaculture farms are especially vulnerable to climate change as organisms and operations are continually exposed to temperature and chemical fluctuations in the ocean and air.

Borderview Farm and University of Vermont (UVM) Extension are researching the potential for growing milkweed both as an agricultural fiber crop and to conserve habitat for monarch butterflies.

Keeping cows cool in the summertime is a major concern for dairy farmers, even in the relatively moderate climate of the Northeast.
