Ryan on climate change

4/11/19

“We need to pay farmers to sequester carbon,” Ryan said. “Farmers can be a big part of reversing climate change because they can help with some regenerative agricultural techniques, such as no-till farming, cover crops.” No-tillage farming is a technique that reduces erosion and cover crops are planted to also manage soil erosion, fertility and quality.

“All these methods can actually, in the long run, help us put more carbon into the soil, and we should pay farmers to do that as well,” Ryan said.
