Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sequestering carbon and building greater farm and ranch operational resilience in the face of a continuously deteriorating climate is paramount. This dynamic half-day event explores how farmland protection and climate-smart, regenerative farming can mitigate the environmental impacts from climate change while building more resilient productive food systems and greater food security.
