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.
