Climate Adaptation
Future changes in climate will significantly transform US agriculture. Through iterative participatory modeling, this project will co-produce projections of future production geographies of major crops cultivated in the Central and Eastern US under multiple stakeholder-generated scenarios of climatic and socio-technical change.
