Getting Support for Adoption of Climate‐Smart 4R Practices

Abstract

AbstractNutrient management, particularly for nitrogen, plays an important role in improving the carbon footprint of crop production. Many programs have recently expanded their offerings or funding levels of incentives to farmers to adopt more climate‐smart nutrient management practices. These programs provide opportunities for crop advisers to accelerate adoption among their clients of 4R practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support soil carbon sequestration. The intent of this article is to provide a broad description of the programs available and the practices most likely to be effective.
