Agriculture is one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions—but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why Pasa Sustainable Agriculture and partners are beginning work to directly support farmers interested in adopting and studying climate-smart practice. This program is supported by a Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This program will provide technical assistance and financial support to help farmers across the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard implement regenerative practices such as agroforestry, prescribed grazing, planting cover crops, and reducing tillage. Farmer participants will engage in community science and help to clearly identify environmental co-benefits of climate-smart practices, by measuring factors like water quality, soil health, and ecosystems resilience. This program will offer marketing strategies to help farmers communicate the benefits of these practices to customers and develop tools to help climate-conscious consumers find climate-smart farms near them.
