between the universities, agencies, and the farming community.<\/p>\n<p>We work with many organic producers, which are a critical part of the farming sector in the region, and who utilize unique approaches and production practices.\u00a0 Through this partnership, the Center for Sustainable Agriculture plans to highlight successful strategies these farmers, and others,\u00a0are using to adapt to a changing climate.\u00a0 This will be accomplished through a series of short articles or blog posts over the next year.\u00a0 We will also be collaborating with others in the region to host guest articles from time to time.\u00a0 Please respond to or comment on our postings with your thoughts and\/or contributions.\u00a0 We\u2019d love to know what you are thinking, and if you\u2019ve had success with the highlighted adaptations, or others, on your farm.\u00a0 You may also see us at a number of the region\u2019s organic farming conferences, as we travel around with an exhibit and interact with as many farmers as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Happy reading!<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Faulkner, Suzy Hodgson, and Kimberly Hagen<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about us\u00a0<strong><a
