USDA will play a crucial role in the future adoption of ag climate smart practices and carbon market establishment. The AGree Climate, Food, and Agriculture Dialogue (CFAD) — a diverse and bipartisan group of producers, food and agriculture companies, and civil society organizations — is calling for USDA to take on greater responsibility to help farmers in future climate endeavors. CFAD has rolled out a multi-prong set of approaches to prioritize producers’ livelihoods and recognize the role of U.S. working lands as a source of climate solutions. In the first submission, CFAD calls on USDA to strengthen its support of research and science for climate-smart agriculture.
