A Community-based Response to Flooding, Jay Gordon (Farmer-to-Farmer Case Study Series)

After recent frequent and severe flooding events, dairy farmer Jay Gordon has been working with others in his community to develop a strategy for lessening the impacts of future flooding in their watershed. The importance of active consensus-building, high quality research partnerships, and having the capacity to support these efforts are key lessons he thinks can help other communities coping with climate change and water-related issues. This case study is part of the Farmer-to-Farmer Case Study project, which explores innovative approaches regional farmers are using that may increase their resilience in the face of a changing climate.
