Consumers believe farmers and ranchers have less responsibility to reduce carbon emissions, according to a recent survey by Agoro Carbon Alliance.

Caleb Smith is a conservation agronomist based in Indiana.

“Consumers really felt that farmers and ranchers do not have as much of a responsibility to fight climate change as some of these other sectors like oil and gas, manufacturing, and transportation,” he says.
