Synopsis: A White Paper on Building a Scientific Roadmap to a Carbon-Negative Agricultural System was drafted by a scientific working group of the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action (USFRA), a coalition of farmer and commodity groups, agribusiness, and other organizations. At the request of the USFRA and with support from the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine appointed a six-person committee to review the draft white paper by examining its clarity of key messages, effectiveness of organization, and scientific rigor. This consensus report is the committee’s critique of the draft and the product of its deliberations from November 2023 to February 2024.
