Lessons Learned:
As noted by Nerds For Earth
- Take the time upfront to educate lawmakers on the synergies and opportunities possible through improving soil health
- Bring together ranchers, farmers, and environmentalists. The Center for Food Safety hosted a conference to educate and build relationships; in this
process, it was critical to ensure that producers and land managers had a seat at the table from the beginning. This helped people work together
and agree on shared goals.
- While Task Force members are often met with skepticism because their position is often one of compromise on stricter or more “impactful” laws, the Task Force performs important groundwork for future work through building coalitions and education
- This bill benefited from a strong elected champion who introduced and shepherded it through the legislature.
