Friend, Industrial agriculture is a leading source of the climate crisis. Big Ag causes continual topsoil loss (costing the US more than a trillion dollars every year), pollutes our waterways, and provides nutrient-depleted food. Restoring soil health is a critical step to addressing these crises. That’s why Green America, in partnership with over 150 farms, companies, NGOs, and soil scientists, launched the first-of-its-kind certification for regenerative agriculture open to all farms and food companies: Soil Carbon Initiative. The Soil Carbon Initiative is a world-changing, outcomes-based, commitment and verification program that empowers and incentivizes farmers, food companies, and the entire food supply chain to transition acreage to regenerative farming. This way of farming with, not against, Mother Nature improves soil health, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, water quality, climate resiliency, food security, farm profitability, and rural community economics. We’re looking for the next 100 farmers and food companies to become part of our “2022 Go-to-Market” pilots. Please share with a farmer or company who might be interested. The deadline for applications is April 5. Learn more about regenerative agriculture, this world-changing initiative, and how farmers and food companies can join our pilot program. |
