SUPPORT THE GROWING CLIMATE SOLUTIONS ACT
“As a Main Street entrepreneur and conservationist, I know firsthand that if we want to address our changing climate then we need to facilitate real solutions that our farmers, environmentalists, and industry can all support, which this bill accomplishes by breaking down barriers for farmers and foresters interested in participating in carbon markets so they can be rewarded for climate-smart practices.”
The Hurdle
Farmers are restricted by a number of barriers that make leveraging carbon trading markets difficult. These barriers include:
X Reliable information about markets
X Access to qualified technical assistance
X Limited landowner participation
The Solution
The Growing Climate Solutions Act will establish voluntary programs such as:
✓ A USDA certification program to ensure providers have agriculture and forestry expertise
✓ A USDA run Third-Party Verifier Certification Program
✓ A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Technical Assistance Provider
