Agriculture and Climate Change

This fact sheet from the World Resources Institute outlines recommended legislative and implementation actions for the 2007 Farm Bill to better integrate greenhouse gas mitigation within the U.S. agricultural sector.

• The document recommends that the 2007 Farm Bill specifically identify greenhouse gases as a resource of concern regarding air quality.
• The World Resources Institute suggests that the implementation of conservation programs in the 2007 Farm Bill should prioritize the reduction of all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, specifically mentioning methane, nitrous oxide, and the enhancement of carbon storage.
• The document proposes that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) establish protocols to assess environmental tradeoffs when evaluating incentive payments or cost-shares, such as the balance between reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing wildlife benefits.
