In partnership with the Northeast Healthy Soil Network, Food Solutions New England is hosting the following policy solutions webinar as part of the FSNE Campaign for Climate Resilience.
A year following substantial investments by the Biden-Harris Administration in the USDA, coupled with the passage of the Growing Climate Solutions Act in December 2022, the USDA is making strategic investments to de-risk the transition to climate-smart agriculture for corporations and remove barriers to market-driven solutions such as carbon-markets.
This webinar will explore the trajectory and impact of USDA investments in Conservation and Climate-Smart programs on climate resilience and farm viability in New England. The exploration aims to discern whether these investments are propelling the region toward a transformative shift in the food system or merely fortifying existing models and systems.
