The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Climate Hubs are regional hubs that provide information, tools, and technical support to help farmers, ranchers, and forest land owners adapt to climate change.

The tools range from specialized calculators to maps, models and datasets which can be used for estimating a variety of outputs in the climate, agriculture and forestry sectors. Visit the Climate Hub site for more information.
