The president of Solutions from the Land says more farmers are adopting conservation practices.
Ernie Shea says climate-smart ag can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon, and limit disruptions to global food security progress.
“When we’re farming with no-till and cover crops we are increasing soil organic content and sinking a lot of carbon into the ground. So, that’s a greenhouse gas solution,” Shea said. “We’re controlling erosion, and we’re improving the capacity of farmland to store water.”
He tells Brownfield farmers need to be at the forefront of the climate conversation.
