As climate change awareness and concern increase, agriculture has come under greater scrutiny. Yet agriculture is a sector that has the ability to transform from a net emitter of carbon dioxide to net sequestering of carbon. And the folks at Organic Valley would argue that organic producers are even more likely to excel in sustainability and carbon sequestration. Royal River Natural Foods is the first Maine retailer to officially join the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership’s efforts to support local organic dairy brands and organic dairy farms. Farmers across New England signed with Organic Valley as Horizon Organics shifts its business to the Midwest. A new study finds Hispanic and Latino farmworkers at high risk from pesticide use in agriculture, while people in lower-income housing are also affected. The Environmental Protection Agency released its first-ever comprehensive work plan to address the decades-old challenge of protecting endangered species from pesticides.
