Have you noticed more people are talking about Ecosystem Services Markets (ESMs) lately? Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a memo that reiterates strong support for market-based solutions, or Ecosystem Services Markets, to improve water quality in the U.S.This represents yet another step in the right direction for dairy and agriculture to pursue collaborative, market-based solutions and achieve reduced greenhouse gases, improved water quality and soil health at a much lower cost to all.
