Climate change and high-intensity wildfires increasingly threaten agriculture in the West. In 2019 and 2020, this program supported 215 producers in wildfire risk management, response, and recovery. However, the need continues as farmers across our networks have lost everything or faced severe losses due to the largest wildfire season on record.

Farmer Campus’s Farming Through Wildfire Season program aims to:

• Reduce the human, production, and financial risks of small farmers to wildfires.
• Offer concrete solutions based on decades of training small farmers.
• Address the needs of producers in high-risk regions in the West.
• Builds upon existing multimedia curriculum with case studies of impacted producers, farm-based activities, and a comprehensive workbook. 

This program was built around the expressed needs for farmers and offers viable, actionable solutions developed in collaboration with top fire experts, organizations, and impacted farmers.
