Subject: USDA Caribbean Climate Hub news

Dear Colleagues,

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 http://blogs.usda.gov/category/climate-change/. 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: http://caribbeanclimatehub.org/projects/.

Climate Hub Coordinator Isabel Parés and Strategic Analyst Josh Fain co-authored the blog and Isabel Parés is the Executive Producer of the video series. Please share with interested people.

Sincerely,
Bill Gould
