Don’t Lose Your Shirt! Staying or Becoming Profitable in Time of Climate Crisis

In this session you will learn management strategies to sustain your business operations and cashflow through challenging cycles of variable seasons. Rather than being reactive to disasters, we will employ a data-based understanding of our local weather variability as well as proactive planning to insulate our livelihoods from the pressures of climate change, reducing farmer stress that arises from things that feel “beyond our control.”

We will mix climate, farm financial, and operational data to further your farm’s stability, and improve your operation’s position against risk. This session will address the following farmer concerns:

• Managing through cycles of growing seasons with good and bad weather
• How to keep farming with personal sustainability and not lose your shirt
• Revenue shifts that will affect your business in the coming seasons
• Confidently using your farm financials to inform your decision-making

The Carrot Project works side-by-side with farm and food businesses to achieve their business goals and thrive long-term. Their personalized services have a long track record of increasing farm profitability.
