For the last three years, RIPE has been comprehensively analyzing bipartisan climate policy design opportunities for growers and talking with agricultural, environmental, and political stakeholders.

Below we’ve detailed some of the many ways you can get involved with RIPE, including requesting a briefing for an agricultural trade organization’s policy committee, serving as a formal or ad-hoc advisor, joining our list-serve or following us on Twitter.

FAQ Friday! Senators asked if RIPE's Roadmap help with flood mitigation- yes! Our proposal helps with flooding by investing in #farm practices that mitigate flooding, like #covercrops, and offer fair, profitable payment for voluntary stewardship practices. https://www.riperoadmap.org/faqs/#toggle-id-14

Farmers and Ranchers

Farmers, ranchers, and all other types of agricultural producers are at the center of RIPE’s mission.

We are briefing and soliciting feedback from individual producers as well as from ag trade organizations.

Currently, the Ag Steering Committee is seeking growers to serve in their individual capacity to help inform the policy and outreach. In 2021, membership will be prioritized for formal representation of ag trade associations.

RIPE commissioned a third-party economic analysis of carbon fee impact by commodity and region that is available to partners. To learn more, please contact us.

Environmental NGOs

RIPE offers environmental non-governmental organizations a promising bipartisan pathway to advance both comprehensive climate policy and agricultural sustainability by offering farmers and ranchers the opportunity to earn a stewardship incentive from voluntary practices.

For decades, eNGOs have been largely operating without conservative and rural allies, and RIPE seeks to remedy that for a long-term bipartisan policy coalition. If your eNGO is interested in a briefing on our policy roadmap, please contact us.

Congressional Policymakers

Policymakers from both parties have expressed strong interest in supporting a climate policy that has the backing of agricultural trade associations and environmental organizations.

Other climate policies fail to offer tangible benefits to rural America, leaving rural policymakers with little reason to support them. RIPE is dedicated to delivering tangible rural benefits from a climate policy, including farm and ranch income earned from the ecosystem services they’re delivering as well as closing the rural digital divide for all rural Americans.

Policymakers from both parties are welcome to request briefings on this promising path for a bipartisan climate solution that delivers tangible benefits to rural and urban Americans.

Funders and Contributors

Foundations and individuals interested in supporting a bipartisan climate policy have generously donated to support RIPE’s mission. RIPE is working towards a governance and funding model for joint support from ag trade associations and environmental foundations in 2021.

We welcome the opportunity to brief you on sponsorship opportunities to invest in the next stage of work cultivating a bipartisan climate policy that supports ag producers’ bottom lines and voluntary stewardship practices.
