Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative Farmer-Led Climate-Smart Commodities Initiative
Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Building Success from the Ground Up
This project will expand climate-smart markets and establish dairy and sugar as climate-smart commodities by implementing climate-smart production practices, like cover crops and stripcropping, improving business practices for climate-smart commodities, and making use of data and information collected to inform future standards. Each farmer-led project under the proposal will be encouraged to create enhanced financial incentives for underserved and small farmers to encourage participation.
The project plans to encourage on-ramps into available business opportunities and increase revenue streams associated with the adoption of climate-smart actions. Marketing plans focus on a bottom-up approach to establishing markets through farmer leadership in areas with farmer-led projects.
