Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership

The Climate Beneficial Fiber Partnership is working with wool, alpaca, and cotton growers in nine primary states to accelerate adoption of conservation agriculture practices that benefit the climate, strengthen on-farm resilience, and build regional fiber systems. The partnership team will provide enrolled producers with technical assistance and direct incentive payments to write and implement whole-farm Carbon Farm Plans on fiber producing landscapes. Producers are then eligible to enroll in Fibershed's Climate Beneficial Verified Fiber program network and connected with designers and markets that value ecosystem services.
