Conservation
From bourbon barrels to kitchen chairs, America’s white oaks sustain vital industries and ecosystems of the eastern United States. Yet today, these trees are aging faster than they can regenerate.
Conservation
Last month, the Trump Administration’s Interior Department reignited this debate by proposing to rescind this rule, which would remove conservation as an eligible “use” for BLM land. What the rescission proposal gets wrong is the difference between conservation and preservation.
Conservation
After passing the House in January with overwhelming bipartisan support, the Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) had been at a standstill for the past nine months– until yesterday.
Environment
From biodegradable diapers to bio-based nylon for clothes, San Leandro, CA-based biotechnology company ZymoChem is harnessing the power of carbon-conserving microbes to create sustainable alternatives for everyday products.
Agriculture
Few examples make that clearer than U.S. Sugar, a Florida-based sugarcane grower and processor that’s turned decades of research and innovation into measurable, on-the-ground environmental progress. From planting and harvesting to processing and transporting roughly 13 percent of America’s refined sugar, the company has incorporated efficient and sustainable practices into each stage of its operation.
Conservation
What we didn’t see reported was the actual progress made during the sessions (or outside the sessions). An important event quietly brought together the leaders of Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, and South Africa, along with bipartisan leadership from Congress, and philanthropists representing the Walton Family to the Bezos Earth Fund, all around a central theme of conservation and international cooperation.
Agriculture
A new model of agriculture: one where profitability and environmental health aren’t tradeoffs but twin outcomes of smart innovation.
Agriculture
Healthy soil is at the heart of a prosperous and abundant farming industry.
Agriculture
The more we innovate, the cleaner our environment tends to get. This correlation shows itself across many sectors of the American economy. Agriculture is no exception.
Conservation
But these landscapes and ecosystems cannot thrive without intentional conservation and responsible stewardship. That’s why it was fitting that the President signed the “Make America Beautiful Again” executive order one day before Independence Day, an initiative aimed at conserving and restoring America’s natural environment for future generations.
