Extreme weather patterns caused by climate change barrage farmers of all crops. The loss of the availability and diversity of food across the globe will cause job loss, price increases, more hunger, and, even, threats to societal structures and national security. Sixth-generation Arkansas farmer, Hallie Shoffner, will talk about the role agriculture must play in addressing climate change and how to open productive and actionable dialogues between farmers and consumers.
