Abstract

At the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Soil and Water Conservation Society, the Executive Director Jim Gulliford announced a new Position Statement on Climate Change and Soil and Water Conservation: “The Soil and Water Conservation Society finds that soil and water conservation practices can play a major role in the mitigation of agriculture's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to changes in seasonal precipitation and temperature patterns” (SWCS 2011). The National Wildlife Federation agreed with this position in the recent publication, Future Friendly Farming: Seven Agricultural Practices to Sustain People and the Environment (Stockwell and Bitan 2011). We found that the seven practices discussed in this publication also improve farmer profitability thanks to modern tools and knowledge (Stockwell and Bitan 2011).
