Location: Soil, Water & Air Resources Research
Project Number: 5030-12610-001-004-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2021
End Date: Aug 31, 2023
Objective:
The goal is to establish a more structured relationship between ARS (Midwest Climate Hub) and regional extension entities.
Approach:
The project will establish an extension liaison between the ARS (Midwest Climate Hub (MCH)) and regional extension. The liaison will meet regularly with the ARS (MCH) staff to discuss current climate issues and climate adaptation/mitigation efforts to plan and develop extension-climate hub efforts across the region. The liaison will help to transition regional efforts to potentially broader projects on extension- climate adaptation and mitigation. Current climate impact (ie drought/flood, etc.) information on agriculture will be gathered and used by the ARS (MCH) and various regional partners.
