Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021 from 9:00-11:30 am (MDT).
The USDA Southwest Climate Hub, in collaboration with and support by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture working lands group, is hosting a virtual listening session on conservation program and market options to enhance producer economic resilience
The goals of these sessions are to:
1.) Discuss carbon in soils and plants in New Mexico
2.) Hear about past conservation programs and carbon and ecosystem services markets
3.) Identify information used and needed to decide if participation in a carbon (or other) market would be a value-added income opportunity
4.) Document producer needs and how payments for ecosystem services might work on New Mexico landscapes
The intended audience for this session includes farmers and ranchers, NRCS field office personnel, SWCD members, and county extension agents and other natural resource professionals.
