climate change policy and the adoption of methane digesters on livestock operations

New ERS Report Discusses Climate Change Policy and the Ways Livestock Producers and Dairy Operators can Benefit from Anaerobic Digesters

As American Agriculture moves into a new century, producers are working to reduce greenhouse gases and nutrient runoff from their operations.  It is even better if, while doing so, they also develop a new revenue stream.  Anaerobic digesters deliver on that objective and also contribute to Obama Administration’s commitment to promote renewable energy and green technology. Deploying anaerobic digesters is not only good for the environment, and for the Nation’s energy outlook, it signifies renewed efforts to invest in America, part of the President’s strategy to “Win the future.”
