The climate crisis and years of unsustainable farming in the United States have resulted in soil erosion, pollinator loss, farmworkers and livestock exposed to extreme heat, and other harmful impacts. In 2019, 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions came from agriculture. At the same time, farmers and the land they work are vulnerable to climate impacts such as drought and extreme weather. EESI's Agriculture and Climate series covers five sustainable agricultural practices: cover crops, agroforestry, no-till farming, sustainable livestock grazing, and soil amendments.
