Agriculture and food are a big part of the climate solution. Huge thanks to @Gmethanehub and @AtkinsonCenter for co-hosting a robust discussion about how to advance lower-methane livestock production #NYCClimateWeek https://t.co/tkBE3CLJI1

[EDF Growing Returns @GrowingReturns]

Hope to see you there tomorrow as we dive deep into lower-methane livestock solutions that benefit people, animals and the planet. 9 am Eastern | Virtual attendance still available https://t.co/hyu9QzrbBg

Another busy day advancing climate action at #ClimateWeekNYC ✅

From discussing how we can turn #PledgesIntoProgress to driving climate-smart solutions for food & agriculture, today was filled with ambition as we work to secure our stronger, healthier future. 💪🏽 #EDFClimateWeek

[EDF Growing Returns @GrowingReturns]

A brand-new report highlights that high-quality carbon offsets have the potential to significantly reduce livestock methane emissions. Read @EnvDefenseFund’s recommendations and learn more: https://t.co/hWuWJhIaTa

🚜 Planting cover crops can provide significant resilience benefits for farmers. However, their implementation can be costly. New data from MN and WI farms highlights how farmers can manage financial costs while adopting this climate-smart practice. https://t.co/lgZImPmBZI

[EDF Growing Returns @GrowingReturns]

🚜 Farmers are tackling climate change with innovative, climate-smart agriculture practices, but they can’t do it alone. Tune into EDF’s Maggie Monast on The Business of Soil Health podcast for a deep dive into the support needed across the value chain: https://t.co/kSMpUJF7AT

It’s hot out there, and we’re not the only ones feeling the rising temps 🌡️ Extreme heat from climate change affects dairy cows and farmers, too. EDF's Peri Rosenstein shared the ways heat can impact animals and what we can do to adapt in @dairyreporter: https://t.co/tSnyya9wsr

Cutting livestock methane is an important climate opportunity, and the first feed additive to lower enteric methane was recently cleared for use in the U.S. Could a seaweed-based product be next? Learn more about trials happening in Maine: https://t.co/UJODpBjuPq

The impacts of climate change are here, and the livelihoods of farmers and rural communities worldwide are especially vulnerable. Meet the Wittmans, a multi-generational farming family driving innovative solutions to adapt and thrive in a changing climate: https://t.co/9FVbO6qFH0

A new @fema rule will be a game changer for communities stuck in a cycle of climate-driven disasters and rising flood damages. Now projects must factor in future flood risk and consider nature-based solutions, helping build flood resilience for communities.https://t.co/UVkFYynm9s

Conservation practices are vital for farmers building resilience on their land, but producers need reliable financial information to implement them effectively. Farmer Kristin Duncanson explains in @agripulse how the 2024 farm bill can address this need. https://t.co/neSc44lMrF

[EDF+Business @EDFbiz]

What’s at stake with the U.S. farm bill? Billions in funding is up for grabs to help farmers protect our food supply chain against climate impacts.

For the first time ever, hundreds of OpenET users gathered to share how they are using the new platform.

One major takeaway? OpenET is quietly transforming how we manage farms, river basins, & even forests!

More than 20M Americans will be at risk of inundation due to sea level rise by 2030. Buyout programs can help with relocation, but existing federal programs are often slow and complex. New @EnvDefenseFund blog looks at ways to make buyouts more efficient. https://t.co/xAMrFopd5O

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

This is a gamechanger. Agriculture is the second-largest source of U.S. methane emissions. But now U.S. dairy farmers can use this to cut methane from cow burps by up to 30%. And cutting methane is the *fastest* way to slow the rate of climate change.

"This bill is a win for Floridians who deserve to make informed decisions while securing the safety of their property and families" says @DawnShirreffs regarding @GovRonDeSantis' signing of HB 1049 this afternoon.

[EDF Growing Returns @GrowingReturns]

With climate change & development straining finite water supplies, it's more important than ever that water managers easily visualize data to guide their decisions.

The new Groundwater Accounting Platform does just that. More about the new release: https://t.co/R1Fr0a5t9l

These has been substantial progress in establishing local groundwater sustainability agencies in California, says Ann Hayden of @EnvDefenseFund. But more needs to be done to reduce demand for groundwater and monitor the use.
