Adaptive Grazing

Managing Brittle Environments: Drought, Risk, and Resilience

Free Webinar

April 23rd at 7:00 PM CST

What You’ll Learn

As drought conditions intensify across much of the western United States, proactive management is more important than ever. In this free webinar, Understanding Ag consultant Fernando Falomir shares practical, field-tested strategies for managing risk and building resilience in brittle environments—using adaptive grazing as a key tool.

You’ll gain actionable insights on how to navigate prolonged dry periods, make timely and flexible grazing decisions, and use adaptive grazing practices to protect soil health while maintaining long-term productivity. These approaches can mean the difference between resource degradation and strengthening ecological function during times of uncertainty.

Join us to learn directly from a team with real-world experience, and hear more about our upcoming grazing workshop in Graham, Texas, taking place May 26–28.

  • How to adapt grazing strategies in dry conditions

  • Managing forage and recovery with limited rainfall

  • Improving water infiltration and soil resilience

  • Decision-making during drought and stress periods

  • Water System Design for drought-prone environments

What You’ll Learn

Participants will gain practical insight into:

  • Building soil health through organic management

  • Using diverse cover crop systems

  • Integrating biological principles into crop production

  • Transitioning to Organic Production

  • Lessons from real-world organic farming experience

  • Practical strategies you can apply to your own operation

The event also provides opportunities to network with farmers and members of the organic agriculture community.
