USDA Kicks-off Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities Projects and Learning Network USDA today announced the official kick-off of the implementation phase for projects funded through the $3.1 billion Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities effort. As projects get underway, USDA also is launching the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities Learning Network, which will generate key lessons-learned as projects are implemented. "Farmers, ranchers and forest landowners are on the front lines of climate change. At the same time, they are uniquely positioned to deliver climate solutions through climate-smart production that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and sequesters carbon," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Through these projects, our partners are working to create new markets for climate-smart commodities, while developing the tools needed to quantify impacts and help producers implement climate-smart practices on their land. We're excited these projects are getting underway and look forward to achieving meaningful results for producers, agriculture and forestry economies and our climate." |
