Climate Change Impacts on Northeast Agriculture: Overview
... There is a potential positive side to climate change in the NE, of course. Some crops will do better, and a warmer, longer summer could create new opportunities for farmers with enough capital to take risks on new crops (assuming a market for new crops can be developed). A “benign” warming trend (mo ...
