(Nods.) That sounds very smart. I’m also assuming my climate is going to aridify further, and I’m trying to select my crops heavily for drought tolerance, in part because that’s really helpful right now, but mainly because I think it may be crucial for the future.
On top of that, I’ve now had two years in a row in which a super late snow has killed off all the blossoms on my fruit trees, which is rather heartbreaking . . . and deeply concerning, from a food security perspective. If that becomes the norm in my climate, those drought tolerant, pest tolerant, otherwise-well-suited-for-my climate fruit trees that I was planting to count on to provide a lot of calories for my family . . . won’t.
Separate thread to talk about that!
