Dry Farming in California Webinar
Dry Farming in California: Research, Practice, and Real World Tradeoffs
Dry farming is getting more attention across California as growers look for ways to farm in a water-constrained environment. But what does dry farming actually involve, where does it work well, and what are the tradeoffs? This webinar will dig into those questions by looking at how dry farming is used in annual crop production and vineyards, including its effects on water use, carbon accumulation, and the balance between yield and quality. The webinar will also feature an update on a California Department of Water Resources–funded project focused on dry farming education and water conservation in coastal wine grapes. Whether you are new to the topic or already engaged in climate-resilient agriculture, this webinar will offer a timely look at one of the practices shaping the future of farming and water conservation in California with panelists Dr. Yvonne Socolar and Lauren Pesch.
