"August 14 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has taken a significant step towards promoting climate-smart agriculture by announcing its plan to establish the Greenhouse Gas Technical Assistance Provider and Third-Party Verifier Program Advisory Council. This initiative is part of the Growing Climate Solutions Act, which aims to connect farmers with resources to engage in environmental credit markets effectively. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack emphasized the council's role in reducing market confusion and aiding small to mid-sized farmers in accessing verified environmental markets, thereby aligning with the Administration's climate goals. The council will also advise on improving voluntary environmental credit markets and reducing entry barriers for farmers. The USDA seeks diverse expertise for the council, including farmers, researchers, and industry experts, to ensure broad and effective guidance." #aginvestment #agfunding #farmingsolutions #agmanagement #agpolicy #farmingsolutions #farmers #aginnovation #agmarkets USDA US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) https://lnkd.in/eUx2i_QU

🤯 😳 Carbon accounting can be confusing and cumbersome. Spreadsheets are tricky, and commodity-specific methods of measuring make it tough for mixed-enterprises - like our cotton and grain farms. 🖩 That's why we've teamed up with Agricultural Innovation Australia and our sister Research and Development Corporations to develop the-first-of-its-kind Environmental Accounting Platform (EAP). The EAP enables a carbon footprint to be calculated at a commodity, enterprise and whole-of-business level, providing an accessible and standardised approach to carbon accounting across different commodities.

The global agricultural value chain stands on the precipice of an overhaul, driven by the mounting pressures of climate change, growing demand and unbalanced distribution. Agriculture faces the imperative to adapt – and financing could hold the key to unlocking its full potential. In this piece, Cordiant’s James MacLeod explores how reimagining the financial framework of agriculture could be the catalyst for the sustainable, resilient future our global food system requires.

***Lack of Business Case Stalls Climate Action in Agriculture*** WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development found that a significant barrier to addressing scope 3 emissions in agriculture and food value chains is the absence of a clear business case for climate-friendly practices. This troubling gap hinders engagement with supply chain actors, who lack compelling incentives to invest in decarbonization. Moreover, it complicates efforts to persuade consumers to pay premiums for lower carbon intensity products. If left unaddressed, this issue could seriously undermine progress towards sustainable agriculture and food systems. As a result, WBCSD recently published The Business Case for Scope 3 GHG Action in Agriculture & Food Value Chains. This is so important and very much appreciated!
