What Are the Benefits of Advancing Climate-Smart Agriculture?

Jul 17, 2023

Subscribe to our Newsletters
The Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance (FACA) has given the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) high acclaim for a groundbreaking effort that is making substantial progress toward revolutionizing greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting. With its comprehensive plan that embraces key FACA priorities, such as the establishment of a national soil carbon monitoring network and updated conservation practice standards, USDA is leading the charge for improved emissions reporting. FACA commends USDA for its commitment to updating and enhancing data quality, especially regarding the emissions reduction potential of climate-smart practices. By advocating for science-based evaluation mechanisms that encompass the wide spectrum of agricultural and forestry production systems, FACA seeks to foster trust and confidence in measuring emissions outcomes. This crucial endeavor not only stimulates the growth of new markets but also bolsters faith in the accuracy of emissions quantification. FACA emphasizes the ongoing importance of stakeholder input to ensure robust protections for producer privacy and the establishment of rigorous data governance standards. The members of FACA stand in solidarity, advocating for climate policies that are voluntary, market-based, and firmly grounded in scientific principles. By championing these principles, FACA recognizes the pressing need for action and embraces the power of collaboration and innovation to achieve sustainable solutions.Source : wisconsinagconnection
