Farmer Survey on Climate Events and Extreme Events
Farmers are invited to take this 10-12 minute survey from FRISBE on climate variability, perceived impacts, and adaptation measures and barriers.
The FRISBE project (Reinforcing Climate Risk Management from Farmers’ Behavior and User-Driven Indicators) aims to gather farmers’ knowledge on climate variability and its effects on crops and livestock. Farmers are uniquely positioned to provide first-hand observations of climate extremes and their impacts, thereby contributing to understand the local reality more accurately and efficiently. Coordinated by Professor Alvar Escriva-Bou (University of California, Los Angeles) and Professor Sandra Ricart (Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy), the project developed this online survey to address the increasing frequency, intensity, and duration of heat extremes, which lead to higher growing season temperatures, more volatile precipitation patterns, reduced winter chill hours, diminished snowpack, and accelerated soil erosion.
