As AG estimate mitigation, trade may benefit — researchers (Successful Farming)

February 03, 2021


Successful Farming published an article stating that The Biden administration’s plan to enlist American agriculture in mitigating climate change through cover crops and carbon trading could pay dividends in another field entirely — negotiations for freer agriculture trade. “A reduction in U.S. trade-distorting supports would better position the United States in multilateral trade negotiations in which trade-offs between reduced domestic support and increased market access could bring significant access gains to U.S. producers,” wrote Eric Belasco and Vince Smith of Montana State University and IFPRI senior research fellow Joseph Glauber in their paper.
