Kate Holcomb

Kate has worked in diversified agriculture for over a decade, including founding and operating a year-round rooftop aquaponics greenhouse. 

She earned her B.A. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and an MBA from the University of Southern Maine, where she focused on sustainability in small food businesses. Her work in farming prioritizes community education, grounded in the belief that a strong connection between the farm and the community makes local food systems more resilient. As program coordinator, Kate supports farmers and farm advisors in creating adaptation and mitigation plans, as well as building a strong peer-to-peer network. At the Northeast Hub, Kate facilitates the sharing of the information developed as a part of the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellowship with the broader public.
