Dear Colleagues,
The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy's Dairy Sustainability Alliance is pleased to provide a webinar opportunity, “What are Ecosystem Service Markets and how can they benefit dairy?”
Have you noticed more people are talking about Ecosystem Services Markets lately? Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a memo that reiterates strong support for market-based solutions, or Ecosystem Services Markets, to improve water quality in the U.S. This represents yet another step in the right direction for dairy and agriculture to pursue collaborative, market-based solutions and achieve reduced greenhouse gases, improved water quality and soil health at a much lower cost to all.
Join members of the Dairy Sustainability Alliance® on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific for a webinar presented by Newtrient as they discuss the Ecosystem Services Marketplace and other efforts underway to make it economically viable to further reduce dairy's environmental footprint.
You'll get answers to these questions:
- What are Ecosystem Services Markets?
- How can dairy benefit from market-based approaches?
- Which states are already pursuing Ecosystem Services Markets? And, what projects are underway to pursue Ecosystem Services Markets?
- How can we make Ecosystem Services Markets a reality? And when?
- What is your role in advancing Ecosystem Services Markets?
