The project would create the Climate-Smart Sustainability (CSS) Certificate to quantify the value of existing and newly adopted climate-smart interventions. The development of the CSS Certificate&#x2004;would substantially expand opportunities for climate-smart commodities and small-scale underserved and limited resources farmers.


The project team plans to connect with networks, producers, processors, and Agri-Technology companies to help build out the market for climate-smart commodities. The data-backed CSS Certificate would provide a solution to value and document the carbon and environmental co-benefits embedded within purchased grains and other food crops so that buyers of U.S.


commodities can certify GHG reductions within their supply chain.

The fast-growing urban agriculture phenomena has sparked hope in cities, communities, and suburban locations across the country.

Clarence Bunch, Ph.D

This project plans to support historically underserved farmers in over 60 Texas counties as they adopt carbon-smart farm plans. This includes listening to the individual needs of farms to incorporate regenerative agriculture practices and provide&#x2004;technical assistance, financial incentives, and ongoing advising to help farmers develop regenerative agriculture practices.


The Climate Smart Farm Program will focus on the practical implementation of regenerative agriculture practices within the broader context of the Climate Smart Farm Plan. PVAMU is the second oldest public university in Texas and is the largest historically black public university in Texas. Texas leads the nation in total numbers of farms and ranches, with 248,416 farms and ranches covering 127 million acres.
