Video: Climate Change, Agriculture, and Gender

Dr. Amber Fletcher grew up on a farm and has a strong appreciation for farmer knowledge and the importance of rural environments and communities. Now, as an academic at University of Regina, she studies how farmers are seeing and feeling the impacts of climate change in their fields and daily lives. She's interested in the critical contributions that women make to farm life, especially during climate extremes such as floods and droughts.
