Jacobson, R.; Sanchez, D. (2019): Opportunities for Carbon Dioxide Removal Within the United States Department of Agriculture. In: Front. Clim. 1, S. 69. DOI: 10.3389/fclim.2019.00002.
„Farming and ranching communities in the United States sit at the front lines of climate change impacts and responses. In particular, terrestrial atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR) can reduce climate change impacts while increasing resilience to extreme weather. Currently, many CDR technologies and strategies are still under research and development (R[&]D), and lack sufficient federal support to reach widespread deployment. Here, we provide an assessment of the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) existing programs and organizational structure, its capacity to support research and demonstration of CDR, and recommendations for expansion of these capabilities.“
