The Cornell Climate Smart Farming online toolkit is designed to help farmers from the Northeast US improve their productivity and resiliency in the face of a changing climate. These decision support tools are used when making informed decisions about production systems based on location-specific climate data, weather forecasts, and future outlooks. All CSF tools allow for selection of multiple locations, at the field level, in order to receive the most local and relevant data. Tools produced by other organizations, including NOAA and USDA, are also provided.
