Since 2012, Gail Taylor has built healthy soil, provided hundreds of local families with fresh tomatoes and turnips, and fostered community on less than an acre at Three Part Harmony Farm in northeast Washington, D.C. Along the way, she’s blazed a trail and spearheaded legislation to enable other urban farmers in D.C. to follow. And she’s done it all with a sense that—at any moment—it could all be over.

Weather is one of the many, but main, factors that determines yield outcomes at harvest. It’s also a factor that is completely beyond a grower’s control. Or is it? While farmers can’t make the rain fall or the sun shine, there are plenty of things that can be done to mitigate the stress that a… Read More Weather is one of the many, but main, factors that determines yield outcomes at harvest.

During the summer of 2024, more than two fifths of the continental United States faced summer temperatures exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit, along with more severe droughts. It is time to radically redirect our food system to better adapt to a hotter, drier world, what some of us now call Planet Desert. And yet, much of what the U.S. Department of Agriculture has funded to date in its climate change program supports baby steps toward climate mitigation, but no real deep adaptation toward the ne

Agriculture was once a cornerstone of the American way of life. Farmers helped build the country, and most of us depended on their products for the food we eat. But times have changed. Americans now eat fast food one to three times a week on average. Between 1998 and 2023, our reliance on imported food has tripled. Because farming is so central to our nation’s identity—and its idea of itself—this future can feel fraught.
