"A growing number of farmers are uninsured or under-insured because the industry doesn’t support switching from traditional to #RegenerativeFarming, an approach that has the potential to sequester enough carbon to halve agricultural emissions by 2030. That shift is becoming more urgent both to slow #ClimateChange and insulate farmers from its impacts, yet the insurance industry continues to stand in the way."

#Pesticides play a key role in boosting crop #yields, but their overuse is a challenge: It damages #health, threatens #foodsecurity & increases production costs. In China, #farmers who purchase #cropinsurance use 33% less pesticides than those who do not: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.114456

The 2018 #FarmBill expires today, with no replacement introduced yet in committee, nor an extension of this measure authorized. Not only are #SNAP and #CropInsurance in limbo, so too is funding for various projects impacting life in #RuralAmerica. Among those projects: funds for #Missouri and 17 other states to reduce and control #FeralHog populations.
