CLIMATE-SMART FARMING CAN HELP SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE –

As the UN convenes what it calls a ‘Climate Action Summit’ this week in NYC, a recently released film and research paper by an Illinois and American Farm Bureau-affiliated group sets outs to demonstrate how agriculture can be a solution to climate change. In USFRA’s short docudrama “30 Harvests,” a farmer listens to a TV interview of another explaining how the soil they manage sequesters carbon. “It’s a very exciting time to be in farming because we will be one of the first industries to have a negative carbon footprint.” (FarmWeekNow)
