What is a Climate-Smart Soybean?

Climate-Smart Soybeans are soybeans that are grown with an in-field practice that helps build soil health, sequesters carbon, and/or reduces greenhouse gas emissions, such as cover crops, reduced till or no-till, conservation crop rotation, or nutrient management. 

 

What is a Climate-Smart Commodity (CSC) Processor?

A CSC Processor is one of the buyers contracted by the TransformF2C Project to buy, process, and market the climate-smart soybeans to develop localized market opportunities and strengthen supply chains traceability for climate-smart commodities. 

 

What are the Benefits of Growing Climate-Smart Soybeans for Me and My Farm?

​

- **Improved crop resilience:** Climate-smart crop management may help crops adapt to changing climate conditions and increase agricultural productivity.

- **Improved soil health:** Healthy soil may have less erosion, preserve land fertility, and conserves water supply.

- **Reduced greenhouse gas emissions**: Climate-smart agriculture may reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.

- **Increased farmer profits:** Climate-smart agriculture may increase productivity and incentives are designed to support higher incomes for farmers.
