Rural Investment to Protect our Environment (RIPE) Roadmap

RIPE (Rural Investment to Protect our Environment) is a coalition of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural trade association representatives advancing a national dialogue for bipartisan, comprehensive, common-sense climate policy that integrates fair and forward-looking agricultural solutions. We believe a powerful rural-urban coalition will form in support of a federal framework that simultaneously supports climate mitigation and invests in rural America by enabling farmers to earn a fair and profitable return from voluntary stewardship practices that deliver tremendous public value to carbon, soil health, water quality, and other environmental services.
