About Us

THE U.S. FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SYSTEM ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 PERCENT OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

If nothing changes, by 2050, the agriculture sector could account for the largest share of U.S. emissions and we will fail to curb the climate crisis in light of growing global demand for food.

Addressing these challenges will require new investments and strategies that unlock, advance, and deploy climate-smart and regenerative agriculture solutions that reduce emissions and sequester carbon while supporting the livelihoods of U.S. farmers and ranchers.

The Platform for Agriculture and Climate Transformation takes a comprehensive and coordinated approach to grantmaking across three key drivers of change:

GRANTMAKING

PACT provides grant funding to support work across our three strategic programs of policy, markets, and innovation.

- Our grantees represent a variety of perspectives and approaches to climate solutions including environmental and climate NGOs, policy advocacy, state and local grassroots networks, ag-tech, universities and research labs, and producer-serving organizations.

- Our grant proposal process is invitation only. We invite and consider applications on a rolling basis to remain nimble, flexible, and collaborative.

- A throughline of our grantmaking strategy is to support tribal, state, and local organizations who work authentically and directly with farmers and ranchers.
