Agriculture in a Warmer World
Sponsored by the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA)

What will happen to local farms as the effects of climate change become more pronounced, and what will it mean for Bay Area consumers?

Dr. Michael Hanemann, Director of the California Climate Change Center at UC Berkeley and Chancellor’s Professor of Environmental Economics and Policy
Dr. David Lobell, Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University’s Program on Food Security and the Environment

When: Thursday, February 28, 6:30 to 8:30 pm (reception with light refreshments at 6:30, discussion at 7)

Where: Port Commission Hearing Room, 2nd floor of the Ferry Building (Embarcadero at Market St.), San Francisco
