The Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance published a new report entitled “Nurturing Healthy Soils for Healthy Communities.” The report recommends the Make America Healthy Again Commission support policies that reward stewardship and invest in innovation as part of a national strategy to create lasting, healthy outcomes for all communities, rural and urban alike. The report focuses on three key pillars to help ag producers and forest owners keep our soil healthy and the air and water clean: advancing voluntary conservation; supporting sustainable forest management and restoration; and driving agricultural innovation. FACA co-chair Duane Simpson, president and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, is happy to see the release of the Healthy Soils Report. FACA co-chair Rob Larew, president of the National Farmers Union, said, "Through collaboration, we can strengthen policies that reward stewardship and invest in innovation. By providing the right tools, we can ensure farmers lead the way.”
