with the Climate Friendly Farming Research Project.

Websites of Washington State University related
to the Climate Friendly Farming Research Project.

Government Links

of institutions, organizations, companies, people and/or products/technologies.
Climate Change Research and Education
Websites on research, education, outreach and policy
related to global climate change.
Direct Seeding, Conservation
Tillage, Carbon Sequestration
Website on research, education and implemenation
of agricultural practices that facilitate carbon sequestration.
In addition to carbon sequestration, direct seeding and other conservation
technologies contribute to other ecological services, such as protecting
soil and water quality.
Bioenergy, Biofuels, and
Bioproducts
Websites related to energy generation - including
anaerobic digestion, fuel and other products developed from biomass
resouces. The use of biomass-based energy, fuels and other products
(such as lubricants, plastics, inks, etc.) contributes to the mitigation
of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by substituting for fossil fuel
based energy and petrolium based fuels and products. In addition,
farming systems used to grow crops and/or animals for biomass-based
energy, fuel and products can directly contribute to the mitigation
of GHG emissions, provide other ecological services (such as protection
of soil and water resources) and provide alternative sources of
income for farmers.
Renewable Energy - Pacific
Northwest
Websites of institutions and organizations that
are researching and/or promoting renewable energy technologies.
Carbon Credits and Trading
Websites related to markets for "Carbon Credits".
Under the plan of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change / Kyoto Protocol, carbon credits can be traded between "emitters"
of GHG's (in Carbon Equivalents - CE's) and "fixers" of
Carbon. For instance, a power company that emits CO2 can purchase
or lease carbon credits from direct seed farmers who are "fixing"
carbon through changed tillage practices. Even though the Kyoto
Protocol has not been ratified, markets for carbon credits have
begun to form.
