Supporting Californian farmers for better Climate Risk Management #BehaviorModelling at UCLA & POLIMI with @OECDagriculture support @sanriccas @AlvarEscriva

[Delta Stewardship Council @DeltaCouncil]

Are you a #CA farmer or rancher? @FRISBE_project, @polimi, and @UCLA are leading a survey for you! 📝

Research like this helps inform decision-makers and orgs, including the Council, that rely on the best available science to inform environmental decision-making and planning.

Proud of our partners at Imperial Irrigation District.🙌🏽 2 years ago IID stepped up to offer voluntary water use reductions💧 to help conserve the Colorado River & now the data shows just how much they’ve conserved.��🏼Also grateful to @usbr for helping fund this conservation!

Chairman Cliff Bentz (R-Ore) with the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries says the Central Valley is a key producer in food supply, which is being impacted by the lack of water.

“This Valley creates 25% of the United States food supply, 25%. So, if you’re going to take a whole bunch of water away, you are affecting the nation’s food supply. That means prices at the grocery store will go up,” Bentz said.

It is already open waiting for your responses!😉

[FRISBE project @FRISBE_project]

In this regard, we developed a short #online #survey to recap Californian farmers and ranchers' perception and response in facing the effects of climate change. The survey was #validated by #local #experts and information will enhance understanding of farmers’ needs & capacities.

[FRISBE project @FRISBE_project]

The project applies a #participatory approach in which #farmers and #rangers are at the core of the research, being the #key actors to know more about how changes in climate and extreme events are #concerning their daily activity and how they are #facing this challenge.

[FRISBE project @FRISBE_project]

The study takes place in the Central Valley of California, a vast agricultural region drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, being an agricultural cluster with more than #250crops in #17percentNationsIrrigatedLand representing #20percentNationsGroundwaterDemand

[FRISBE project @FRISBE_project]

Being aware of #farmers and #ranchers' expertise in facing #climatevariability, the project aims to #recap their #knowledge and #behavior to support #SocialLearning and establish or redefine mmore robust #adaptation mechanisms and strategies according to their #needs.

[FRISBE project @FRISBE_project]

The FRISBE project aims to gather #farmers’ knowledge on #climate variability, perceived #impacts, and #adaptation measures and barriers, being aware of how more frequent & intense extreme events are influencing their activity.
