RIPE Platform: Payments over costs for agricultural conservation

American producers have a pivotal role to play in tackling climate change, but they shouldn’t sacrifice their own livelihood in the process.

Rural Investment to Protect Our Environment (RIPE) is a producer-led organization advancing national agricultural policy that would pay farmers and ranchers over costs for stewardship practices. Producers would earn payments for voluntarily implementing conservation practices that deliver public value through carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas reduction, improved soil health, water quality and other environmental services.

Legislators on both sides of the aisle are interested in the RIPE platform but need to hear from producers before moving forward. Learn how you can get involved at RIPEroadmap.org/get-involved.
