The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) is pleased to announce the WSDA Climate Resilience Survey, linked below. WSDA, in collaboration with Washington State University, is developing a Climate Resilience Plan for Washington agriculture. The plan will summarize recent climate science, identify vulnerabilities, highlight opportunities, and include newly developed resources. It is essential that this work is informed by the needs and experiences of Washington producers and agricultural advisors.
Please fill out the WSDA Climate Resilience Survey by February 23rd, 2024.
Your responses will increase our understanding of the on-farm impacts of climate change, resources in use, and current agricultural needs. This information will help WSDA build programs and offer funding that is in direct response to your feedback. Ultimately, WSDA’s goal is to support the continued viability and vitality of Washington agriculture through a changing climate.
