Farm Bureau Supports New Growing Climate Solutions Act

Farm Bureau Supports New Growing Climate Solutions Act
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the re-introduction of the Growing Climate Solutions Act.
 
“AFBF welcomes the introduction of the Growing Climate Solutions Act, which builds on the strong foundation of environmental stewardship in American agriculture by providing more clarity and guidance for farmers and ranchers as they explore or expand participation in carbon markets.
 
“This bill is evidence lawmakers can come together in a bipartisan manner to find solutions to environmental challenges while respecting the role of farmers and ranchers as they feed families around the globe. I commend Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) for working with Ranking Member John Boozman (R-Ark.) to introduce an improved Growing Climate Solutions Act.
 
“AFBF will continue to work with lawmakers, directly and through the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance that we co-founded, to advance policies and programs that are science-based, voluntary and market-driven.”

OFA and Farmers' Markets Ontario have long shared similar goals and this year have partnered on a project to support local food producers. With $50,000 in cost-share funding from OFA, the two organizations supported marketing that promotes local Ontario farmers like Alex from Thames River Melons at farmers’ markets across the province. These initiatives help to promote local food, enhance consumer access, and build direct connections with farmers.
