EDF report provides the most comprehensive data set ever collected about on-farm nitrogen management practices in North Carolina, to identify fertilizer solutions that increase operational resilience and improve economic and environmental outcomes.

A regulatory framework that encourages innovation takes advantage of the fact that technology makes it faster and cheaper to understand the world, and creative methods using these new technologies can enable better detection, mitigation, and monitoring to reduce waste and protect the environment.

To cut greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, California agencies, municipalities and some utilities are rethinking the role of natural gas within the state’s energy system. This includes new policies and approaches to use more electric options in homes and businesses, and to reduce the use of natural gas in power plants. Succeeding in this endeavor will reduce reliance on the gas system, which could result in existing gas infrastructure becoming “stranded”. This carries important financial and political implications that, if not managed effectively, could complicate the state’s efforts to combat climate change.  This framework provides guidance on how policymakers can address the transition away from gas. 
 

New technologies cannot themselves fix the fisheries crisis that we face. But as EDF lays out in this report, they do open an unprecedented window of opportunity to dramatically broaden access to the fishery management approaches that have been proven to work.
