Hot Farm Trailer
Over four episodes, Hot Farm from the Food & Environment Reporting Network tells the stories of farmers who are experimenting with ways to use less water and chemicals, protect their soil and use renewable energy—as well as those who still need to be convinced that climate change is a man-made crisis that requires them to do things differently. It explores the long-running efforts to develop new perennial crops that are better suited to the climate change era, as well as the strategies for getting farmers to grow these crops and consumers to buy and eat them. And we get a detailed look at one possible future for agriculture in America: As California dries out and heats up, people are asking if other regions of the country can take up the slack. Part 1 coming April 12.
