We are working hard to bring you relevant, timely content now that addresses the current crisis and helps our community move forward through it. Because of that, we have re-worked our April webinar to cover COVID-19 and climate change, and how we bridge the communications gap with stakeholders. We are lucky to have Ed Maibach, Director of the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, join us to share his expertise and insights on this topic. We'll also invite our partner Guru to join for updates on the CC consumer engagement advisory group, launched in 2019.

On April 3, we partnered with New Hope Network to convene a virtual Climate Day keynote dialogue with the CEOs of Danone NA, W.S. Badger Company and Seventh Generation--three companies defining what a holistic company-level response to climate change looks like. Moderated by GreenBiz Chairman Joel Makower, we dove into the changing role of business in responding to the climate crisis and the opportunity our industry has to come together for a collaborative response.

A variety of software tools help farmers and ranchers to track agricultural practices, calculate greenhouse gas emissions and sequestered carbon and remotely monitor environmental conditions. However, these helpful tools haven't been able to "talk" with one another to help mitigate climate impacts--until now. Speakers from Stonyfield, the USDA, and Land PKS discuss how OpenTEAM software knits together critical agricultural and climate-related software applications to create a powerful data-based, positive feedback loop that provides recommendations to speed up soil health and climate improvement on farms.
