What is Climate-Smart?
The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (“NRCS”) has established a suite of conservation practices that quantifiably reduce greenhouse gases or sequester carbon, and thus can be measured, monitored, verified and recorded (“MMRV”) by carbon buyers and third-party credit verifiers
What are USDA Partners for Climate-Smart Commodities?
In 2022, Secretary Vilsack announced USDA is investing up to $3.1 billion in 141 selected pilot projects that create market opportunities for U.S. agricultural products that use climate-smart practices and include innovative, cost-effective ways to measure and verify greenhouse gas benefits.
