Farmer science accelerates climate adaptation
A new study in PNAS addresses the challenge of climate adaptation in a way that is both scalable and targeted. Scientists demonstrate a unique approach using crowdsourced citizen science that capitalizes on farmers’ knowledge.
New and rapidly evolving climate conditions brought about by climate change require farmers to replace their crop varieties more often than…
