Farm Aid, in partnership with the Northeast Climate Disaster Relief Network, is proud to present “When Disaster Becomes the Norm: Climate Risk and the Future of Northeast Agriculture.” This white paper addresses the ways in which climate change uniquely impacts farmers and agriculture, and how inadequate our current farm safety net is when it comes to helping farmers recover from climate disasters. The white paper provides case studies and recommendations for policymakers to address this problem.

Open in new tab The Northeast Climate Disaster Relief Network is a coalition of agricultural service providers, advocates and farmers working to ensure that farmers and workers in the Northeast are equitably and effectively resourced before, during and after climate disasters. Our theory of change is simple: If farmers have a strong, accessible support network at every stage of a disaster, the region retains more farms, strengthens local food security and builds long-term climate resilience. We are calling on state governments and the nonprofit sector to work together to build the funding pipelines, tools and support systems that farmers need to withstand a rapidly changing climate so that, ultimately, farmers can continue to nourish us.
