Climate Change and Agriculture: No Longer Business as Usual featuring Michael P. Hoffmann, Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and Director of Cornell University's Agricultural Experiment Station.
The climate is changing - it is getting warmer, and the evidence is all around us. Springs are arriving earlier, summers are hotter and winters are warmer. Consistent with a warmer and moister atmosphere, we are also observing more severe weather and shifts in precipitation patterns. The decade 2001-2010 was the hottest recorded ever, and the trajectory is set for the average global temperature to continue to warm into the future - 3.2 to 7.2°F by 2100 with smaller increases near the equator and greater at the poles.
The anticipated increases in temperature along with changes in precipitation patterns and greater variability in the weather have profound implications for agriculture and the security of our food supply.
In this presentation, Director and Associate Dean Michael P. Hoffmann will describe the changes that are occurring due to human-caused climate change and some examples of what Cornell is doing to help ensure food security into the future. Agriculture will no longer be business as usual.
Event will begin with a one-hour hors d'oeuvres reception, followed by Professor Hoffmann's remarks.
