Dairy farmers across 15 states can apply for considerable financial support to adopt climate-smart manure management practices through a new initiative aimed at enhancing soil health, increasing herd productivity and minimizing environmental impact. Thats according to Transforming the Farmer to Consumer Supply Chain project leaders.
This story was produced through a collaboration between the Daily Yonder, which covers rural America, and Climate Central, a nonadvocacy science and news group. As the number of animals stuffed onto corporate farms increases, so has the amount of waste. The smell from the lagoon made it impossible to enjoy their backyard.
Concentrated animalagriculture is high in emissions because of things such as improper manure management and land used to grow feed. The United Nations, the Science Based Targets Initiative , and others are reaching a shared, science-backed understanding of what “net zero” can mean in the corporate world.
The EPA also reported lower nitrous oxide emissions from feedlot manure, captured in manure lagoons, “which are major sources of both methane and nitrous oxide,” said Lilliston. “So, “So, when you have fewer cows, you’re going to have fewer enteric [fermentation] emissions coming from the cow itself.” And it’s not just methane.
The initiative aims to triple the productivity of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa in 20 years by promoting green manure and cover crops that restore soil health, combat drought, and enhance farm resilience.
The organization introduces beneficial plants called green manure/cover crops which fertilize the soil, control weeds, and respond to periods of drought. CGIAR , International As the largest global agricultural innovation network, CGIAR is working to the transform food, land, and water systems.
Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) The RPFSA does not contain a proposal to support AMMP technologies as envisioned in the ARA or the COWS Act. Creates an Organic Agriculture Research Coordinator within the Office of the Chief Scientist (Sec. 7110, 7113, 7213). 7201, 7202, 7203).
Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, the same farmers struggling with the effects of climate change, like drought, are revolting against stricter regulations on pollution from livestock manure. These bans hinder innovation rather than seek protocols for vetting new technologies in food science, she added. The budding industry has raised $3.1
Reduce Environmental Impact of AnimalAgriculture Two California Democrats—Senator Alex Padilla and Representative Jim Costa—led the introduction of the Converting Our Waste Sustainably (COWS) Act. One reason is that only a tiny fraction of agricultural research dollars go to organic farming.
