Each module can be taken individually.\u00a0 The list of topics covered is below.<\/p>\n

WEATHER TRENDS: What is climate and what is weather?\u00a0How do we get data relevant to our local area?<\/p>\n

IMPACTS:\u00a0 How does the weather affect animal agriculture? Are we seeing new challenges we haven’t experienced before?<\/p>\n

ADAPTATION:\u00a0 How can we reduce risks, plan for changes, and make the best investments?<\/p>\n

CLIMATE SCIENCE: What is the science behind climate and weather?<\/p>\n

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) SOURCES: Is animal agriculture a big contributor of Greenhouse Gases? If so, what farming functions create the most emissions?<\/p>\n

MITIGATION OF GHGS: Can farmers reduce greenhouse gas emissions?<\/p>\n

REGULATIONS: Are regulations of GHGs likely? Is there a market approach where farmers could make improvements and reduce costs?<\/p>\n
