NPR is spending this week looking at climate solutions and how food and agricultural systems are tackling climate pollution and adapting to a changing planet.

So Idaho Matters wanted to bring together a panel of local farmers and organizations implementing climate-smart practices in the Gem State. Specifically, we wanted to know how they are adapting to changes in climate and what they are doing to become more earth-friendly.

Ben and Brian McIntyre with McIntyre Pastures, Clay Erskine, co-founder of Peaceful Belly Farm, and Jessica Harrold, program coordinator with the Ada Soil & Water Conservation District, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
