As efforts intensify on climate mitigation and encouraging adaptation strategies, one topic commonly discussed is a USDA carbon bank. But what is it and how would it work?
These are questions many are asking, but actually haven’t been formulated as the Biden administration, including as it relates to farmers under the leadership of Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, looks to encourage and incentivize practices at the farm level that could benefit the environment.
Bill Hohenstein, director of the Office of Energy and Environmental Policy in USDA’s Office of the Chief Economist, says when you think about a carbon bank, it’s a loose term that continues to be fleshed out as USDA looks at comments received under a recent request on the agency’s climate strategy.

This grant award will support the installation of the center s Security/Safety Program.
New Hope Center s new facility consists of three wings that will keep the groups separated from one another. An access control system will need to be installed that will give everyone a key card that will only allow them to enter their designated wing.
This safety program will also consist of video cameras installed into the shared common areas, hallways, and exterior doors to help monitor the safety of clients and staff. The front entrance will have a video intercom entrance to help monitor those that are coming into the shelter. The center would eventually like to offer some classes in their conference room about personal safety which would include awareness of surroundings, identity theft, and common scams (phishing, telephone, mystery shoppers, etc.).
