This blog post co-authored by Emily Stuller, a master's student at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), and SEAS graduate Caleb Milliken (MS ’22), an economist at RTI International, focuses on climate-smart agriculture (CSA). CSA is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of farming practices and technologies that contribute to both GHG mitigation and adaptation objectives. Examples are wide-ranging and can include reducing tillage, planting cover crops, diversifying cropping systems, planting improved seeds, and producing more food using less resources. CSA offers a promising pathway to meet climate goals due its many benefits, including reducing emissions and sequestering carbon, enhancing resilience, and increasing productivity.
