AG-6: Manage land responsibly
Assess opportunities for growers and agricultural landowners to manage land to lessen the impacts of climate change and incentivize those actions.
Review and assess current agricultural best management practices (BMPs) for the state of Florida for its management of projected climate impacts.
Integrate climate-smart management practices into BMPs when current rules do not sufficiently prepare for future climate impacts, such as:
- Carbon sequestration
- Wind farms
- Solar collectors
- Biofuels
- Pollinator support
Increase funding to cost-share programs that assist farmers in implementing BMPs.
Advocate for increased mandates of BMPs for regions or sectors where assistance funds are available.
