Project Background
The purpose of Audubon Arkansas’s Native Agriculture to InVigorate Ecosystems (NATIVE) Project is to help farmers innovatively adapt to climate change by assisting them with production of a climate change-resistant specialty crop that promotes on- farm biodiversity. Native warm season grasses and pollinator-friendly forbs are economical, environmentally sustainable, alternative cash-crops able to withstand drought and other severe weather events made worse by climate change.
