Farmers and farm groups typically have been skeptical about acknowledging manmade climate change. That’s changing, though.

The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) and the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) have formed its Agriculture-Climate Partnership to tap agriculture’s climate-solving potential. Although agriculture contributes 13% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, it also presents an effective solution that can eliminate agriculture’s emissions and offset those of other sectors, according to these groups. This effort is stressing climate smart agricultural practices.
