How to capitalize on carbon credits
Carbon credits have been attracting fresh headlines and capturing the attention of more farmers than ever over the past year. But the history of carbon credits may be much older than you realize.
Monetize carbon stored in your trees
Most talk on carbon centers on row crops. But with millions of acres of forest in the region, it might be a better option for landowners to think of their forests if they want to take a dive into the growing carbon market.
MFA, Land O’Lakes forge alliance to enhance sustainability for farmers
Farmers today are swimming in data — from soil health stats to yield records — but many aren’t sure how to turn all that information into real value.
MFA Inc. announced Friday that it is partnering with Land O’Lakes to bolster its ability to help farmers make sense of the information and expand market opportunities.
Biden administration announces new sustainable aviation fuel standards
On Tuesday, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service issued long-awaited new guidelines for tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel. The rules are intended to spur production of SAF that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% compared to petroleum-based jet fuel.
Biofuels and Batteries Gain From the System Dynamics Behind the Research
"When you look at renewable energy, not everything is linear," said Swaroop Atnoorkar, an analyst at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). "Technologies often operate in complex systems with many moving parts in the background."
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) State-of-Industry Report:
Oscar Rosales Calderon, Ling Tao, Zia Abdullah, Kristi Moriarty, Sharon Smolinski, Anelia Milbrandt, Michael Talmadge, Arpit Bhatt, Yimin Zhang, Vikram Ravi, Christopher Skangos, Eric Tan, and Courtney Payne
Regenerative farming practices require unlearning past advice
Early on a cool September morning, farmer Josh Payne tends to his flock in Concordia, just east of Kansas City, Missouri. As Payne opens the gate, about a thousand sheep round the corner and bound into fresh grass.
The pasture the flock grazes was once corn and soybeans, along with the rest of the Payne family farm. Josh’s grandfather Charles Payne cultivated nearly a thousand acres of row crops for decades.
Irrigation in a changing climate: Adapting for the future
With debate ongoing over water allotments from Western rivers, anticipated water shortages complicate the future outlook for agricultural irrigation. And extreme weather has changed the game for row crop farmers — even those with irrigation systems.
We have the satellite data to show climate change is real. Now what?
Space programs are often concerned with what's happening "out there" in the universe, a large portion of what space agencies like NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) do is monitor what is happening on the surface of the Earth. This includes keeping track of things like weather, but also human-induced drivers of global warming such as the emissions of greenhouse gasses, deforestation and changes in seasonal ice coverage in Arctic and Antarctic regions. That's important because research has shown human activities are indeed the primary drivers of climate change.
How satellite data has proven climate change is a climate crisis
The year 2024 was a record-breaking one, and not in a good way. In July, Earth's average temperature was the highest it has been in at least 175 years, with July 22 specifically being the hottest day on record. This past summer was the hottest summer since about the year 1880, this year's hurricane season started with Beryl — the earliest Category 4 hurricane on record — and a report published in June confirmed that human-driven global warming is at an all-time high.
