“It’s expensive to rent land in Monterey County just like it’s expensive to rent an apartment,” explained Arlene Haffa, a professor in the university’s department of biology and chemistry. “And so many of the growers are actually leasing the land and they’re afraid their crop will fail, so the tendency is to over apply the fertilizer just to be sure that the plant has enough. And that’s what becomes the greenhouse gas. So by paying the farmer to reduce their nitrogen inputs and use these other climate-smart practices, we hope to turn the ship a bit.”
