A Penn State-led project is receiving millions of dollars to enable partners to expand climate-smart markets and work with Pennsylvania dairy farmers to implement climate-smart agriculture.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A Penn State-led project is receiving millions of dollars in funding that will enable partners to expand climate-smart markets and work with Pennsylvania dairy farmers to implement climate-smart agriculture.
More than 50,000 farms will be engaged in this initiative, Vilsack said, and it will involve more than 20 million acres. USDA anticipates that from the work that's being done, they'll be able to measure as much as 50 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent being eliminated from farming operations, he said.
"I'm excited about this opportunity. I'm excited to be here on campus. Penn State's a great land grant university," Vilsack said. Armen Kemanian, professor of production systems and modeling at Penn State, participated in a panel with four other project leaders and Vilsack.
