U.S. Insurers Lag Euro Counterparts in Climate Rating Report
Legislation to provide farmers with tools to help New York efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change is making its way through state Legislature.
The Soil Health and Climate Resiliency Act passed the Assembly unanimously last week, and was sent to the Senate.
The act establishes a Soil Health Initiative, a Climate Resilient Farming Initiative and a Research Initiative through the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets.
The initiatives are intended to scale sustainable soil health practices to increase carbon sequestration and help the state meet climate goals while improving water quality and promoting resilience.
