The latest Policy Issues article, “Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade” is now available online. You can read it, free of charge through AgFoodTTank, on the AAEA Web site.
A federal cap-and-trade system is increasingly likely in the near future. Questions about its impacts on agriculture, especially its role as a provider of carbon offsets, are yet to be settled. This article explores issues that will determine the limits and income potential for agriculture in providing those offsets. Policy makers are currently struggling with these issues as they attempt to reach agreement on pending legislation.
