Drought in Agriculture

This team works to support drought adaptation and resilience among agricultural producers.

2024 Proposed Activities

Share information about drought tools and available resources (at events, through contacts, word of mouth, etc.)
Compile and share a glossary of agency, organizational and program acronyms
Invite key people to help fill expertise or area of focus gaps in our network (e.g., invasive species)
Assist in moving resources and information from Basecamp to the DLN website

Continue work on existing projects/activities: Drought & forage outlook podcast collaboration with the P2P team. Possibly branch out and do radio spots.
Team meetings will be a mixture of outreach planning and information-sharing within the group.
- Collaboratively contributing to resource lists.
- Possibly hearing from other groups who have undertaken successful projects to support agricultural drought resilience/adaptation measures.
- Swapping notes & providing feedback to each other, as needed.
Aim to bring more people in ag service provider positions into the group – specifically Extension, FPAC agencies.
Leverage collaborations with other DLN teams where opportunities arise.
