“Water scarcity in the West, and particularly the Colorado River Basin, is one of the greatest challenges of our time,” said Kate Greenberg, Western Organizer with the National Young Farmers Coalition. “Within the context of historic drought and increasing urban demand, ‘Resilient’ highlights the work of innovative farmers and ranchers across western Colorado who are successfully adapting to a drier climate. By embracing modern, water-saving technology and time-tested holistic practices, they prove that land stewardship is essential to the future of the region.”
“Resilient” illustrates how soil health works with efficient technology to save water and improve agricultural productivity. It emphasizes the integral role farmers and ranchers play in solving western water solutions. And it calls on everyone who cares about the west to do their part to conserve our precious resources.
