Agriculture and Climate Change

The document provides recommendations for the 2007 Farm Bill to better integrate greenhouse gas mitigation into U.S. agricultural policy, specifically calling for the inclusion of nitrous oxide and methane reductions and the assessment of environmental tradeoffs in conservation programs.

• The document recommends that the 2007 Farm Bill explicitly identify greenhouse gases as a resource of concern regarding air quality and prioritize the reduction of all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, specifically mentioning methane, nitrous oxide, and the enhancement of carbon storage.
• The author advises that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) should establish protocols to evaluate environmental tradeoffs when processing applications for incentive payments or cost-shares, such as the balance between reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving wildlife benefits.
