Yet the true impact of this work goes far beyond the numbers. It lives in the stories of farmers who are finding new ways to sustain their operations\, steward their land\, and feed their communities. \n\n\n\n​As Massachusetts advances its climate goals\, farms sit at the intersection of resilience\, sustainability\, and local food systems. This panel\, featuring the CET\, Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) and key partners\, will explore how programs like MFEP\, alongside federal opportunities such as REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) and CSAP (Climate Smart Agriculture Program) grants\, are unlocking critical investments in farm energy. \n\n\n\n​Through firsthand perspectives and cross-sector insights\, speakers will highlight how energy efficiency and renewable energy are not just cost-saving measures\, but powerful tools to strengthen farm viability\, reduce emissions\, and preserve working lands. Together\, we will explore what it takes to scale these solutions\, expand access for diverse and underserved farmers\, and ensure that Massachusetts farms remain a cornerstone of a more equitable and climate-ready future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\nthe Speaker \n\n\n\n\nMelissa Hoffer Climate Chief Hoffer – Moderator ​Melissa Hoffer is Massachusetts’ first-ever Climate Chief\, appointed by Governor Maura Healey in 2023 to lead the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience.
