NASEO Rural Working Group Webinar: Agriculture and Carbon Sequestration: Challenges and Opportunities

August 15, 2023, 3:00 - 4:00 PM ET

Farmers and ranchers have an opportunity to reduce sector-wide and nationwide greenhouse gas emissions through new land management practices that help maximize the sequestration of carbon in soil. States, the federal government, and the private sector are advancing soil carbon sequestration through incentives, technical assistance, and data collection, which presents an economic development opportunity for rural areas and agricultural stakeholders. This webinar will be an opportunity to hear about the process for carbon sequestration in soil along with some of the co-benefits and challenges. Please register for the webinar here

Following the webinar, please join NASEO for a states-only meeting of the Rural Working Group from 4:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET. This will be an opportunity to discuss the webinar topic in more detail along with other rural priorities. If you represent a State Energy Office, please register here to participate.
