Bipartisan Climate Policy that Works for Farmers & Ranchers
By Offering a Profit Opportunity for Voluntary Stewardship
Our nation’s farmers and ranchers are the original and most significant stewards of the environment, so are an important part of the solution when it comes to addressing climate change through their continuous care of the water, soil and air.
Federal climate policy is advancing through executive action – which passes costs on to farmers – and additional climate legislation may pass in the next few years. Yet the policy designs being discussed in Washington D.C. do not reflect the best interests of growers and their contributions to environmental solutions.
RIPE, a non-profit program dedicated to helping farmers secure a profit opportunity from climate policy, aims to advance a comprehensive climate policy that invests in sustainable farming & enables farmers to earn a fair profit for delivering valuable benefits to our shared air, water & soil.
