MEXICO â Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County (CCE Oswego) will host a free online workshop through Zoom from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 20 on the implications of a changing climate on the future of agriculture.
This workshop will introduce climate science and why it matters from a global perspective. It will also highlight practical solutions that the agricultural community can adopt to become more resilient in the face of a shifting climate.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) stated that 2020 tied with 2016 for the hottest year on record. Also, the 10 hottest years ever recorded have all occurred since 2005. Climate projections show that under a high emission scenario, Oswego County could likely see an average of 18 days above 90°F by 2050 and 58 days above 90°F by the year 2100. From a historical perspective, from 1958 to 2013 there was only one year, 1988, when Oswego County averaged 10 days above 90°F. Not only this, but the F
MEXICO â Utility-scale solar projects have been expanding across New York because of a need for renewable energy development due to changes in policies at the state level. Farmers and landowners are being approached with exploratory offers to lease (or purchase) their land for solar development. Leases can provide extra income to landowners, but this leasing decision can affect the property for many years. Many concerns exist and questions remain unanswered.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County will host an online workshop to discuss some of the implications of solar sitting on farmland and how we can support renewable energy while protecting agricultural lands. This is the first of a two-part series organized by CCE of Oswego on the impact that climate change is having on the agriculture sector. The first workshop is focused on renewable energy, looking specifically at the implication of solar installations on farmland. Speakers will include David Kay Sr., Extension
