Sustainable agriculture

di ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND INCORPORATED

Our agriculture and land use initiatives focus on securing a sustainable, productive food supply that also supports a resilient environment.

-Improve sustainability of commodity crop production
Why: Fertilizer is the engine of agriculture, but inefficient use contributes to air and water pollution.
How: Help farmers improve on-farm conservation practices. With Walmart asking suppliers to improve fertilizer efficiency, food companies are starting to support farmers' efforts to reduce environmental impact while improving their yields.

-Protect wildlife on working lands
Why: Our current system to protect at-risk wildlife isn't working, and it depends too much on regulation, often a heavy burden on landowners.
How: Establish habitat exchanges that allow landowners to get paid for maintaining habitat that houses vulnerable species, like the monarch butterfly. Taken to scale, these practices pay off for wildlife, too.

-Reward farmers for smart water use
Why: Demand for water is outstripping supply in arid regions like the American West.
How: Remove barriers to water trading and create incentives that reward farmers and ranchers – the region's largest water consumers – for practices that return water to rivers.
