Southeast Regional Climate Hub (SERCH) hosting partnership discussions via conference calls, April-June 2014

Date:	2014/04/16 08:55:00 GMT-4
Link:	http://globalchange.ncsu.edu/serch/
Description:	The US Department of Agriculture is establishing regional climate hubs to deliver science-based knowledge and practical information on climate change to farmers, ranchers, and forest land managers. These Hubs will help to maintain and strengthen agricultural production, natural resource management, and rural economic development under increasing climate variability. The Hubs will work with USDA to deliver information and guidance on technologies and risk management practices at regional and local scales — which will help with everyday decisions on the farm, field, and forest. Read more about the Hubs in the Charter. The Southeast Regional Climate Hub, or SERCH, will connect with public, academic, and private sector organizations, researchers, and outreach specialists to deliver technical support and provide tools and strategies for climate change response to help producers cope with challenges associated with drought, heat stress, excessive moisture, longer growing seasons, and changes in pest pressures. To learn more or get involved in the partnership discussions, go to http://globalchange.ncsu.edu/serch/
