Curriculum Overview

Farmer-led climate adaptation and mitigation education from the ground up

The original Climate Adaptation Fellowship curriculum was developed after a careful review of the literature on two relevant topics. First, our team investigated existing research on peer-to-peer learning among farmers and foresters; diffusion of best management practices; and how land-manager access to information may influence their management decisions.

Second, we cataloged and reviewed existing curricula targeted towards land managers and their advisors. We studied these curricula and interviewed their developers to determine what made these curricula successful, what their challenges were, how they used theory or pedagogy, and how they were evaluated.
