Cover crops have proven benefits in slowing erosion and improving soil health, making them central to the regenerative ag movement. But a new report questions their efficacy in mitigating climate change.

Our motive is simple, and it explains everything we seek to achieve on our healthy farm: You can’t go wrong by doing right.

A research team from Ohio State University is inviting farmers in the Maumee River Watershed to participate in a USDA-funded project designed to help better understand the benefits and tradeoffs associated with integrating cover crops into corn-soybean rotations.

As more and more companies continue to invest in regenerative agriculture and set sustainability goals, cover crops, no-till farming and other conservation ag practices could start to become more widespread. Cover Crop Strategies is compiling these studies, stories and reports about the continued push for widespread adoption of conservation agriculture. Below is the latest report to be included in our coverage.

There is a lot of talk about climate change. Many people point to agriculture as one of the potential sources to the answer of mitigating it. Read more in this article from Seed World.

American Farmland Trust shares publicly its CaRPE Tool, a web-based interactive tool that allows users to quickly visualize and quantify net greenhouse gas, or GHG, emission reductions resulting from the implementation of cropland and grazing land management practices. The user can quantify the current use and impact of key regenerative practices and then estimate the potential to sequester more carbon if these practices are applied more broadly, given the specific farmland resources in a state or region.
