Argiculture Technical Report Item Info

The agricultural sector comprises an important part of the Idaho economy, with agriculture and food and beverage processing accounting for over 18% of total business sales (Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), 2020). Conditions in the sector influence the lives of all Idahoans to at least some degree through provision of food that fuels daily activities. The goal of this report is to describe the economic risks and opportunities for the Idaho agricultural sector in the context of climate change. The report describes current conditions in the Idaho agricultural sector, observed changes in Idaho’s climate and trends in agricultural productivity over the past several decades, projected changes in Idaho’s climate and agricultural productivity for key subsectors, specific effects of the changing climate on key agricultural subsectors as identified in the peer-reviewed research literature, the important linkages between water availability and agricultural sector performance, and existing evidence of adaptation strategy adoption by Idaho farmers.
