Moving from Adoption to Sustainability

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization as a global effort that helps to transform and reorient agricultural systems to effectively support development and ensure food security in a changing climate.

Cover Cropping

Cover cropping is when farmers plant a supplemental crop on fields between growing seasons in order to retain soil nutrients and reduce erosion from bare fallows. Cover cropping increases productivity of the soil by increasing soil organic matter, which also aids in carbon sequestration and increasing soil biodiversity.
