Farming for Our Future examines the policies and legal reforms necessary to accelerate the adoption of practices that can make agriculture in the United States climate-neutral or better. These proven practices will also make our food system more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Agriculture's contribution to climate change is substantial--much more so than official figures suggest--and we will not be able to achieve our overall mitigation goals unless agricultural emissions sharply decline. Fortunately, farms and ranches can be a major part of the climate solution, while protecting biodiversity, strengthening rural communities, and improving the lives of the workers who cultivate our crops and rear our animals. The importance of agricultural climate solutions can not be underestimated; it is a critical element both in ensuring our food security and limiting climate change. This book provides essential solutions to address the greatest crises of our time.

Excerpt from Law for the American Farmer This treatise is not offered to farmers as a substitute for the advice of a lawyer in any case in which legal counsel becomes necessary. No work, however exhaustive or ably written, could possibly fulfill such a function. Nor is it designed to be a text-book for lawyers. The lawyer will find little or nothing in it, the author hopes, strange to him. If sometimes it shall serve the busy lawyer as a finger-post to authorities he knows to exist, but for which at the moment he lacks time or facilities to search, well and good, but such is an incidental, not the primary, purpose of the book. The writer has aimed at aiding the lawyer in a different way, by bringing his client to him before the case has been so prejudiced as to increase the difficulties of the professional adviser. The book has been made to enable the farmer to recognize his rights and duties when a controversy likely to ripen in a litigation is impending, and to act in such wise that he shall not unwittingly sacrifice the first or neglect the second to his injury and the embarrassment of counsel whose services he may finally retain.
