Agriculture is responsible for 10% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the US. But this field can also produce powerful climate solutions. Truterra was launched by Land O’Lakes as a way to provide farmers, agriculture retailers, and food companies with resources to reach environmental sustainability by 2030. As of May 2023, Truterra has paid farmers around the United States more than $9 million to remove 462,000 metric tons of carbon.
