Climate Land Leaders

Within a decade, we’re going to know if we have done enough to avoid the greatest challenge that human beings have ever faced: climate change.

You care about our land, air and water. You care about climate change and our collective future.

You can help activate many more farmers and landowners as Climate Land Leaders motivated to transform agriculture through conservation.

Our food system is a big part of the climate problem, responsible for one-third of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. And yet working lands are also part of the climate solution.

Climate Land Leaders are reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are restoring soil and water and helping plant and animal communities thrive. They are building resilience into their farming operations and advocating for policy change.

Your gift helps build a community of leaders who are taking climate action with an incredibly powerful partner – the land they steward. Join us!

“I donate to Climate Land Leaders because it provides me with the targeted information and tangible support that I need as a farmland owner to improve the way we and our renters use our land. Climate Land Leaders has motivated and empowered us to move forward with changes that require some effort, but which are probably the most important thing my family can do to address climate change.”

Deb Paulson, Todd County, MN

“This network offers invaluable connections with like-minded farmers committed to climate mitigation. As a small-scale farmer, I value having a platform where my voice is heard. Climate Land Leaders creates a space where farmers of all scales—large and small—can exchange effective climate strategies.”

Beatrice Kamau, Will County, IL

“This network of landowners with similar goals and concerns keeps me connected, optimistic and thankful. That, in itself, helps offset the realities of climate change that our world is facing. We need more Climate Land Leaders…many more.”
