As a farmer in Charlotte, NC, Cherie Jzar works to feed her community and build a network of growers while coping with the impacts of climate change. She is adopting climate-smart agriculture practices with the help of USDA conservation programs – which are now in jeopardy as Congress negotiates the Farm Bill.

This week, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) launched a six-figure ad campaign to highlight how farmers across the country benefit from conservation funding and urge members of Congress to pass a farm bill that maintains the $20 billion in climate-smart investments from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as Republicans have aimed to cut funding in ongoing negotiations

Congressman Chris Pappas joined EDF Action and the League of Conservation Voters for a business roundtable to discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act is providing critical support for small businesses to accelerate New Hampshire’s transition to clean energy.
