After a day of filming at Maple Spring Gardens in northwestern Orange County, the Climate Listening Project visited the North Carolina state farmers market in Raleigh. We captured an interview with Sarah Wiener of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Southeast Regional Climate Hub (SERCH) about the importance of listening to farmers share their experiences with climate change.
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.
