A Vision in 2009 for Green Acres and Climate
 
2009 could be a strong year for environmental legislation. Climate change legislation takes top priority this spring, and U.S. House Representative Henry Waxman has expressed hope for comprehensive climate and energy legislation by May. And the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee released six principles to govern climate change legislation. The principles establish the early architecture for potential climate legislation, including a market-based cap and trade system. In such a system, agriculture could play a critical role in sequestering carbon. We have worked with key players in agriculture to compose Five Key Principles for Agriculture in Cap and Trade Legislation. Stay tuned for our series Farmers Combat Climate Change to see how farmers can turn the tide on climate change.
