Webinar Release of the "Potential for U.S. Agriculture to Be Greenhouse Gas Negative" Report

Join us for an exclusive, in-depth webinar as we unveil the findings of the report, Potential for U.S. Agriculture to Be Greenhouse Gas Negative. This comprehensive study, led by U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action (USFRA) and supported by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, presents a detailed report for how U.S. agriculture could become a net-negative greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter.

In collaboration with a team of 26 top-tier research scientists, USFRA initiated this analysis to explore both existing and emerging agricultural practices with high potential for reducing GHG emissions. The findings build on the influential 2019 National Academy of Sciences report Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030 and offer actionable insights into practices that can drive sustainable change. Additionally, a six-member review committee from the National Academy of Sciences has rigorously evaluated the report, ensuring scientific accuracy and clarity.

Webinar Highlights:

  • Insights into current practices and advanced technologies identified to reduce emissions
  • A pathway to achieving net-negative emissions through enhanced carbon sequestration
  • Key research directions necessary to support GHG-negative agriculture

This virtual event is ideal for researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the future of sustainable agriculture. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about groundbreaking strategies that could reshape the role of agriculture in addressing climate change.
