Although the food system generates one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>, it has largely been excluded from the climate agendas of most governments. Only last year did the food system become a major topic of international debate<\/a>, during the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference. <\/p><\/div>

\n

But as Civil Eats’ reporting has shown, the food and agriculture system is full of examples of how farmers, ranchers, fishers, chefs, restaurants, grocery stores, and consumers are addressing climate change, with strategies that sequester carbon, slash emissions, save water, reduce plastics, and open new markets.<\/p>\n

Farmers, for example, are experimenting with the wild seed relatives of domestic crops<\/a> that may be able to withstand extreme weather. Researchers have also discovered that kelp growing alongside mussels and oysters can act like a sponge<\/a>, soaking up excess nutrients while increasing critical oxygen levels in surrounding waters. And lawmakers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are crafting policies that support local food systems<\/a> and regenerative agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most important and promising climate solutions stories we published this year.<\/p>\n

\"An

These State Lawmakers Are Collaborating on Policies that Support Regenerative Agriculture<\/strong><\/a>
\nProgressive state legislators often find themselves in a David-and-Goliath battle against the conventional ag industry. One organization is equipping them with resources to support producers using regenerative practices instead.<\/p>\n

Investment Is Flowing to US Grass-fed Beef Again. Will It Scale Up?<\/strong><\/a>
\nRupert Murdoch\u2019s Montana ranch is at the center of an effort to get grass-fed beef into mainstream grocery stores; others are using investments to build new markets entirely.<\/p>\n

\"Photo

Micro Solar Leases: A New Income Stream for Black Farmers in the South?<\/strong><\/a>
\nEnerWealth Solutions wants to bring the benefits of renewable energy to Black farmers and landowners in the Carolinas.<\/p>\n

Can Taller Cover Crops Help Clean the Water in Farm Country?<\/strong><\/a>
\nIn Minnesota, a local water quality program might serve as a model for incentivizing the next steps in regenerative farming.<\/p>\n

\"

\"Timothy

Florida Banned Farmworker Heat Protections. A Groundbreaking Partnership Offers a Solution.<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe Fair Food Program offers the strongest, legally binding protocols to keep people safe when politicians fall short.<\/p>\n

Vineyards Are Laying the Groundwork for a Regenerative Farm Future<\/strong><\/a>
\nA new study finding that regenerative practices build more soil carbon in vineyards points to a path for the industry to create broader models for agriculture.<\/p>\n

\"Examples

New School Meal Standards Could Put More Local Food on Students\u2019 Lunch Trays<\/strong><\/a>
\nUSDA\u2019s nutrition standards aim to support farmers by increasing the number of schools getting fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats from nearby farms.<\/p>\n

Changing How We Farm Might Protect Wild Mammals\u2014and Fight Climate Change<\/a><\/strong>
\nNearly a quarter of U.S. mammal species are on the endangered species list. Researchers say farming with biodiversity in mind may help stave off further decline.<\/p>\n

\"A

Can Seaweed Save American Shellfish?<\/a><\/strong>
\nSeaweed farms on both coasts are beginning to take hold, tapping into decades of painstaking science, and could help shellfish thrive in waters affected by climate change and pollution.<\/p>\n

\"Inside

Rescuing Kelp Through Science<\/strong><\/a>
\nBreakthrough genetic research at a Massachusetts lab could save the world\u2019s vanishing kelp forests\u2014and support American kelp farming, too.<\/p>\n
