Regenerative farming goes mainstream with a 1 million acre commitment from @GeneralMills. Cover crops, no-till, reduced pesticide use, and even livestock for soil health. That – and a $650k grant to @kissthegroundCA to kick things off. https://t.co/2z6nmnzHWC
"America's farmers and farmland will play critical roles in our society's response to combatting climate change.“ Exciting new leadership at American @Farmland Trust.

Fantastic to see a Vermont team in this list. Hopefully first of many in years ahead. Congrats to @PacketizedE — keep it up. #vt#startups#EnergyEfficiency
$7M investment from the firm that seeded (ha) @SeventhGen and @BurtsBees. Green Mountain CBD already contemplating a second 300+ acre farm in Champlain Valley. This is a big deal for #Vermont.

Green bonds grew 78% in 2017 to $155+ billion worldwide. Expected to reach $250+ billion in 2018. And apparently that's just the beginning via @IFC_org.

Natural climate solutions are affordable, they work, & they need more support now. Thanks @bradplumer for highlighting @nature_org’s new #naturalclimatesolutions research in the U.S. https://t.co/kMHuvQikTI
Another win for outdoor recreation in the Kingdom. Great to see strong buy-in from Newport town and biz. Way to go @VTLandTrust & @VermontCF – excited for what's next.

Speaking today at the Land & Livelihoods gathering of the Western Landowners Alliance on designing an ecological economy in western states. DYK, pasture & rangeland is the largest land use in the US? Over a third of the lower 48.
