The Senate Agriculture Committee held a hearing this morning to get stakeholder perspectives on the Growing Climate Solutions Act, a bill that would help farmers participate in carbon markets and get rewarded for climate-smart practices.

The bipartisan bill was introduced in early June by US senators Mike Braun of Indiana, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.

Ranking member Debbie Stabenow says the bill would

break down barriers for farmers interested in participating in carbon markets.
