A Faith Based Vision for Iowa’s Climate Future Matt Russell Iowa Interfaith Power & Light SOIL 2018 – Turning Our Vision for Iowa’s Water and Land in to Action Drake University Agricultural Law Center September 19, 2018

The Climate Crisis

The Paris Agreement Commitment to adapt and mitigate Global public policy framework Markets built on policy framework Monetization of carbon Agriculture is in the mix

Population Bomb Green Revolution Iowa Leadership Agriculture Major Tool Iowa benefits Moral view—Feed the World Economic view—leadership and development

The Climate Crisis Climate instability threatens more than population Climate threatens agricultural production Climate instability amplifies conflicts Climate change is creating mass migrations The world is demanding action to stabilize the climate

Iowa Farmers and Climate Services Best soils on the planet Existing infrastructure Access to technology Industry Capital Farmer political power

Farmer Innovation Conservation tillage Managed grazing Cover crops Crop rotations Ethanol

Farmers can lead A moral argument—faith An economic argument—legacy

Climate services and water quality Global demand for climate services creates huge potential pool of resources for mitigation—carbon sequestration No such pool is likely to emerge for water quality Overlap between water quality benefits and climate benefits from sustainable agriculture Farmers can use climate service dollars to solve water quality, but not the other way around.

Organizing farmers to lead Develop the agricultural practices to both adapt to and mitigate climate change Advocate for public policies that empower farmers to deliver what the world is demanding—a stable climate Unleash the power of farmer innovation to accelerate change Partner with Iowa State University and empower their farm organizations to claim global leadership in climate smart agriculture Keep the value of on farm environmental services for farmers and rural communities rather than having all of the value flow up the supply chain

Iowa farmers helping solve climate change Recruiting farmers who want to Provide moral leadership Innovate on their farms Capture the economic benefits Lead the policy development Matt Russell, director@iowaipl.org www.iowaipl.org
