OUR CHALLENGE

Ensuring the Future of Agriculture

The average age of an American farmer is approaching 60 years and 100 million acres of farmland is set to change hands over the next five years, a potential nationwide shortage of farmers is a primary problem.
​
The actions we take over this next decade will define the planet's path over the next century. CBEAR is urgently taking on the barriers that prevent the implementation of conservation practices.  Our research also seeks to create greater pathways to conservation practices by creating the evidence of its benefits for communities. What we achieve is just as important as how.  By letting science guide our focus and execution, we can shape a better future for our planet.
