A Farmer on the Front Lines of Climate Change 

Wendy Johnson has one boot in the conventional row crop world and the other in the world of regenerative food farming. Hear her personal account of the flooding, drought, derechos, and tornadoes that have hit her Iowan farm in the past five years and how her operations are part of the climate problem and the solution. She’ll discuss her efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide ecosystem services, public and private efforts to compensate farmers for ecosystem services, the need to couple climate change work with building local and regional food systems, and the importance of community and hope to thrive during climate disruption.
