Warren would also pay farmers to fight climate change, an initiative she connected to her Green New Deal plan.
Specifically, Warren writes that she will “dedicate resources from the $400 billion R&D commitment in my Green Manufacturing Plan towards innovations for decarbonizing the agriculture sector, including a farmer-led Innovation Fund that farmers can apply to use towards pioneering new methods of sustainable farming, like agroforestry.”
“My plan will help create a new farm economy where family farmers have financial security and the freedom to do what they do best,” Warren writes. “Taxpayers won’t pay twice — once at the grocery store and once through their taxes — for overproduced commodities. We will replenish our soil and our water to chart a path towards a climate solution and achieve the goals of the Green New Deal.”
