Climate Services Specialist, Government of Nova Scotia/ CLIMAtlantic Inc., Alex Cadel, shares his findings on the development trends of the growing season over the last 150 years and climate projections in Nova Scotia. He will use the example from the wild blueberry growing degree days model to demonstrate the influence of climate change on wild blueberry development during growing seasons. While this webinar focuses on wild blueberries, all other sectors’ growers are welcome if you are interested in learning about how climate change affects agriculture sectors and what to expect for our future growing seasons in Nova Scotia.
