Requires the department of agriculture and markets to develop and maintain a database on the impact of climate change on agriculture; requires farmers to report to the department on the impact of climate change on agriculture, including but not limited to crops grown, outcomes and yield.

The bill requires New York's Department of Agriculture and Markets to create a database that tracks how climate change affects farming. It also mandates that farmers report their experiences with climate change, including details about the crops they grow and how these are impacted in terms of yield and outcomes.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its proactive approach to understanding and mitigating the effects of climate change on agriculture. By gathering data directly from farmers, the state can develop better strategies to support the agricultural sector and ensure food security in the face of climate challenges.

Critics might argue that the bill places an additional burden on farmers by requiring them to report on climate impacts, which could be seen as an unnecessary regulation. They may also express concerns about the effectiveness of the database and whether it will lead to actionable solutions for the agricultural community.
