The Regional Approaches to Climate Change in Pacific Northwest Agriculture (REACCH PNA) gathers 20 scientists from three Land-Grant Universities in Idaho, Washington and Oregon and the USDA Agricultural Research Service.
Connecting with wheat and barley farmers, and using innovative methods, we will strive to ensure agriculture and grain production will endure future climate change.
Project Mission Statement
Enhance the sustainability of Inland Pacific Northwest (IPNW) cereal production systems under ongoing and projected climate change while contributing to climate change mitigation.
|
Project Goals
- Develop and implement sustainable agricultural practices for cereal production within existing and projected agroecological zones throughout the region as climate changes.
- Contribute to climate change mitigation through improved fertilizer, fuel, and pesticide use efficiency, increased sequestration of soil carbon, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions consistent with NIFA’s 2030 targets.
- Work closely with stakeholders and policymakers to promote science-based agricultural approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
- Increase the number of scientists, educators, and extension professionals with the skills and knowledge to address climate change and its interactions with agriculture.
- Develop the regional capacity for continued, long-term research, education, and extension efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
- Address climate change effects with a transdisciplinary research, education, extension approach to enable researchers' stakeholders, students, the public, and policymakers to acquire a more holistic understanding of how agriculture is interrelated with climate change.
