<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Last week we the USDA posted a blog about the Caribbean Climate Hub and our video series, Adapta, which designed to share information about best practices for climate adaptation in tropical forestry and agriculture
<a href="http://blogs.usda.gov/category/climate-change/">http://blogs.usda.gov/category/climate-change/</a>. The first completed video is about the dairy industry. There are three additional videos filmed and in the editing process - one about coffee farming,
one about plantains, cover crops and soil conservation, and one about integrated farming of fruits, vegetables and herbs. A short trailer has clips from all 4 videos:
