Sustainable agricultural activities can play a major role in slowing the rate of climate change. Specifically, offsets can provide long-term financial incentives for farmers and landowners to transition towards more sustainable and profitable farming systems. Scientific studies show that sustainable management of agricultural lands can reduce emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O, and experience from growers has shown sustainable management can be productive and efficient. Offsets offer the opportunity to create another source of income from farming operations and also provide an opportunity for corporations to support growers’ actions and be an important part of this solution. In this webinar, experts from the ag sector will speak to the opportunities and future of offsets on agricultural lands.
