Introducing Climate Conscious Chats with the City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability and University of Florida’s Thompson Earth Systems Institute! Our changing climate brings much uncertainty surrounding our food supply and what it might look like in the future. Join us for our fall virtual Climate Conscious Chats series to learn from scientists about how climate change will affect food waste, food production and food livestock and what we can do to ensure sustainability into the future.
Don't miss this FREE event on Zoom or Facebook Live as Dr. Germán Sandoya, Assistant Professor in Breeding and Genetics, talks about how climate change challenges the production of vegetables in Florida, in particular Lettuce, and how his breeding program will face many of these issues for the future generations of growers.
