How to talk about climate change with customers and other audiences

January 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

In this half-day workshop, you’ll connect with farmers and others in our local food system to learn and practice effectively communicating about climate change with customers and your community. CISA staff, including climate coordinator Stephen Taranto and communications coordinator Jacob Nelson, will share examples of best practices and real world communications strategies from local farms. A facilitated group discussion will then help you apply principles in several practice scenarios, such as marketing farm products based on climate-smart farming practices, sharing your story with media or public officials, or explaining to customers how climate uncertainties impact your business to encourage support and action. Participants will leave with new communications resources, connections, and hopefully more confidence in speaking up! The last hour will be an optional lunch and time for casual conversation and networking.
