Michigan agriculture will play a part in the governor’s climate plan to become carbon neutral by 2050.
Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy director Liesl Clark tells Brownfield the newly announced Council on Climate Solutions will work to create structures such as a carbon market where farmland could be used to offset greenhouse gas emissions.
“We really do think this is an all of the above solutions, there are a lot of different components that are going to have to play into, ‘How does Michigan hit this goal?’”
Department of Natural Resources director Dan Eichinger says creating a carbon market would help to incentivize sequestering emissions.
