drought and moisture over the past few years. While we are firsthand seeing climate change on potato farms across Canada, there is still questions about how it’s

to adapt and continue to grow spuds. During this webinar, you will learn:
-Climate change impacts on potato production-Reasons why adaptation have been reactive rather than proactive-How to use projected climate data to plan
adaptation actions for the industry-The role remote sensing technologies can play in adaptation (ex: precision irrigation)
