The Climate Friendly Farming Research & Demonstration Project is a project of Washington State University's Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources which seeks to understand the interconnections between climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and agriculture in an effort to reduce agricultural emissions of greenhouse gases, improve soil carbon sequestration of carbon dioxide, and develop bioenergy, biofuels and bioproducts from agriculture that offset the combustion of fossil fuel carbon.
