Adaptation Recommendations Report

Released in April 2013, the 25x'25 Adaptation Work Group’s “Agriculture and Forestry in a Changing Climate: Adaptation Recommendations” presents a variety of pathways for building and strengthening resilience to climate change in our nation’s agriculture and forestry system in the areas of research, production systems and practices, risk management, decision tools, and outreach. Rather than being offered as a definitive set of adaptation recommendations, the report is intended as the beginning of a national dialogue on the steps needed to prepare for an uncertain future.
