Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County (CCE Oswego) hosted a free online workshop
through Zoom on Thursday, May 20th from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the implications of climate change on the future of agriculture. The goal of this workshop was to introduce climate science and to discuss why it matters from an agricultural perspective. Special attention is given on climate-smart farming practices that the agricultural community can adopt to
become more resilient in the face of a shifting climate.
Guest speakers are Dr. Allison Chatrchyan,
Sr. Research Associate with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Director of the Cornell
