This summer, the Conservation Practice Adoption Motivations Survey (CPAMS), a joint project between USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and NRCS, will be mailed to 43,000 forest and grazing landowners and managers across the Nation. The CPAMS gathers information to understand why people choose to use different conservation practices and will help improve voluntary conservation programs. NASS will mail an invitation to respond early online at agcounts.usda.gov starting June 24. Responses are confidential and used for statistical purposes only. No single respondent can be identified from the published data. Previous CPAMS data are available on the Highlights page of the NASS website. For more information, visit nass.usda.gov/go/CPAMS.

Did you know that in 2019, there were approximately 1.28 million jobs in the agricultural sector in Florida? This is according to the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Science. The same report stated that agriculture contributed to about $106 billion in Florida economy that year. This goes to show just how vital the agricultural industry is to the state's economy. #Agriculture University of Florida Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

UK examines impact of cultured meat on farmers The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) is seeking UK farmers most likely to be affected by cultivated meat to get a better idea of the potential impact on their livelihoods. Recurring themes about threats to food and farming were found as well as possible opportunities. Now researchers are looking for more farmers to participate in the project, with the findings intended to inform policies on the fast-growing industry, according to the university. #janiceneitzel #SustSolutions #AnimalWelfareAssessment Read more - https://lnkd.in/dkDzKYDP

The agricultural industry has long been calling for collaborative policy and national plans to ensure a profitable, productive and sustainable future and now a discussion paper for the Agriculture and Land Plan – one of six sectoral decarbonisation plans under the Net Zero 2050 Plan – has been released as part of broader public consultation. Agriculture, as a sector in the National Greenhouse Account, made up 16.8 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions in 2020–21. This share expected to increase as other parts of the economy, such as the electricity sector, take up more readily available and lower cost abatement options. Australia’s agriculture and land sectors are already feeling the effects of climate change. Extreme weather events and changing seasonal conditions are becoming more frequent. These are putting pressure on productivity, farm performance and landscape health. Modelling from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) shows that recent seasonal conditions (2001 to 2020) reduced the profitability of Australian broadacre farms by an average of 23 percent, or around $29,200 per farm. Agriculture and the land will have an important role to play in helping Australia to transition to a net zero economy. A strong, economically efficient, global effort to reduce emissions is in the interest of Australian producers and land managers. Have your Say To develop the right plan, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry need a better understanding of what is possible for the agriculture and land sectors in terms of emissions reductions and what technologies and practices need investment in to help the sectors to transition. Your feedback will help ensure the plan is ambitious but achievable. 1. Read the discussion paper: https://lnkd.in/dEi2kiJR 2. Use the online survey to submit your feedback, upload a submission, or both: https://lnkd.in/dimj3ehe Your input will help in understanding what is possible for the agriculture and land sectors for reducing emissions. The next steps will help inform a Net Zero 2050 Plan that aligns with the nature positive goals while providing opportunities for First Nations peoples and other communities. Make a submission by 5pm AEDT Wednesday 13 December 2023.

https://lnkd.in/g5HtcPvY Ancient farming practices and politics. History always repeats. The need to adapt is a constant, however political interference has more often been damaging rather than helpful. How globalists are trying to take over our food change is atrocious. Farmers know how to farm, know how to work with Nature and not against it. Farming often passes from generation to generation, passing on wisdom. What do politicians and globalists truly know and understand about farming? Have they ever farmed themselves or just rely on others even when it comes to gardening? They are "experts" in their own right when it comes to money but farming and money are two entirely different fields of expertise. One feeds, one takes. In the article there is mention of tension between Farmers, farming techniques understanding agricultural needs and sustainability and land grabs. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? #NoFarmersNoFood #TractorsHonkHonk #FarmingAndAgricultural #SustainableFarming #ControlledBurning #Freedom #Humanity #Peace #ExitTheUN #ExitTheWHO #ExitTheWEF #NoToSDGS #NoToCBDCS #NoToTyranny #NoToGlobalists

Farm Foundation and the USDA Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) are hosting a two-day, virtual conference on Tuesday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 6, 2024, focused on diversity and agricultural policy. Through a mix of panel discussions and paper presentations, the goal the Agricultural Policy and Diverse Farms and Farmers virtual conference is to: - Expand on the existing knowledge base of how diversity in U.S. agriculture, both of farmers and farm operations, interacts with agricultural policy. - Initiate discussion on farmer equity and inclusion in U.S. agricultural policy - Better understand data available to explore these linkages, as well as identify data gaps - Foster networks of researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals working on these issues Register today: https://lnkd.in/gazn7bcd #farmfoundation #diversity #agpolicy #event #farming #agriculture #farmers

Sustainability Mechanic - "Thought leaders produce great thoughts. Mechanics turn great thoughts into great outcomes. I'm a mechanic."
Not only does #urbanfarming have a high carbon footprint, but so do #urbangardens and #farmersmarkets . They have other values, such as building #communityengagement and educating urban residents about where their food comes from and #healthyeating. Sadly, there is a lot of naivety and wishful thinking about urban farming, urban gardens and farmers markets. I learned this during the process of producing the nation's first regional food system assessment and plan with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission back in 2010. Food policy needs to be based on a realistic understanding of our food system - the way it is, which is often not the way we assume it is.
