ADM is engaging farmers in the southeast that have peanuts and soy in their crop rotation to try to drive the execution of cover crops, conservation tillage, and other practices that lead to lower
In 2021, the peanut industry came together to fund an effort to document, track, and help improve the sustainability of U.S. peanut production, starting at the field level. The Sustainable U.S.
Sound Agriculture’s mission is to create on-demand crop solutions that lead to more sustainable, healthier, and tastier food. To that end, Sound is leveraging a data-driven
Houston Engineering can lead or support any software development or scripting needs your organization may have. We have in depth knowledge of sustainability metrics and modern programming frameworks.
The goal of the collaboration between, Truterra LLC, Cotton Incorporated and GreenPoint Ag Holdings LLC is to advance sustainable agricultural practices on cotton acres
U.S. soy farmers are committed to implementing new production practices to continuously improve their sustainability while protecting the air, water and soil. United Soybean Board invites partnerships and projects across the soy value chain to advance continuous improvement and help soy farmers meet their sustainability goals.
Insights from the behavioral sciences are revolutionizing the way in which government programs are designed and delivered, and CBEAR is bringing this revolution to agri-environmental programs. A “test, learn, adapt” strategy helps programs be their best, achieve greater levels of program participation and satisfaction, and achieve improved environmental outcomes, all while reducing costs. To create evidence-based programs, CBEAR has been conducting randomized field experiments across the US. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with private-sector or governmental partners on projects related to the following initiatives:
(1) Building the evidence base for financial vs. technical assistance;
(2) Building the evidence base for enhancing the post-contract persistence of conservation practices; and
(3) Building the evidence base for environmental and economic benefits of input efficiency.
Cotton Incorporated & National Cotton Council are committed to engaging farmers in continuous improvement and data collection projects.
With the support of a USDA Conservation Innovation Grant, AFT has launched online access to the methods, tools, and training resources it used in developing case studies featuring soil health successful farmers in its Quantifying the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Soil Health project.
Specifically, partners will be able to use AFT’s Retrospective Soil Health Economic Calculator (R-SHEC), an 11-tab Excel-spreadsheet tool, to evaluate the costs and benefits of soil health practices including no-till or reduced tillage, cover crops, nutrient management, and conservation crop rotation on row crop farms that have adopted any combination of practices, ideally for more than four years and within the last 10 years.
