Integrating Climate Risk Assessments & Resilience Strategies into Farm Business Planning

Wednesday September 23, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm MDT

Alvarado F

There is an urgent need to proactively support farmers to integrate climate risk assessments and climate resilience strategies into their business plans both by using standalone tools and by updating the traditional business plan approach and templates. California FarmLink and NOFA-VT have been developing tools and approaches to do just that. Join us to dive into what tools and planning approaches have been developed, how these tools and approaches are being implemented, and why these tools and approaches can make a critical difference to farm viability by enhancing environmental, economic, and social resilience. Come prepared to both hear what we have been up to and also to actively engage in thinking through differences in tool designs and approaches, what could work well for the farmers you serve, and what you would need to do to proactively integrate these topics into your approach to planning.
