The Earth is experiencing significant changes to its climate and weather patterns. Global temperatures are rising and weather is becoming more extreme and volatile. Areas like Australia and California are seeing less reliable rainfall and more severe droughts that threaten agriculture. As climate change continues to impact the environment and weather, communities will need to take steps to adapt, such as adopting more sustainable farming practices that protect ecosystems while allowing people to live sustainably. Non-profit organizations may be able to help facilitate programs that pay farmers for ecological services and support adaptation efforts.

- Was… nature so vast economists… and book-keepers and governments all it was could formally be declared ‘external’ to the ‘real’ economy. And with so much oversupply…. Price of nature was inherently between zero and not much.
- Well.. that was then. Now: in permanent, intensifying ‘shortage’. This is historically profound in way that our thinking, let alone our social and physical infrastructure, really hasn’t caught up with.
- Farming’s the original ecological goods provider. Now we’re beginning to see farms paid to provide ecological services too. In Europe and Mexico and South Africa and the United States, farms are also recognized as ecological service providers—and paid for that service.
