John, methane is a big problem. This potent greenhouse gas will cause more warming in the decade ahead than all the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels burned this year. And in the United States, agriculture accounts for around one third of methane pollution.
That’s why cutting methane pollution by supporting climate-smart farming is so important.
You can help fight climate change, support farmers, reduce climate pollution from food production and ensure everyone has reliable access to nutritious food by donating to EDF today. And if you donate now, your gift will make three times the impact thanks to our $2-for-$1 Summer Match.
Your donation will go to work empowering farmers and business leaders to play a key role in building a healthy economy, thriving communities and a vital Earth. This includes:
|
|
|
- Working with farmers to conserve water and land, adapt and lessen their farm’s impact on the climate, support thriving wildlife like pollinators and increase food production by bringing new life to the soil instead of depleting it.
- Advancing the Dairy Methane Action Alliance, a group of global food companies — including Danone, Starbucks and Nestlé — committed to helping reduce methane pollution in their dairy supply chains.
- Raising awareness of critical climate-smart farming practices like growing and rotating a wider diversity of crops, lessening erosion through no-till planting and limiting herbicides and synthetic fertilizer.
