About the Center
Connecting discovery, training, and stewardship to strengthen productive landscapes.
Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the Center for Greenhouse Gas Management in Agriculture and Forestry. Our work is built on collaboration, bringing together researchers, producers, ranchers, forest landowners, industry partners, and agencies to develop practical approaches that strengthen working lands. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are committed to driving impactful research and outreach initiatives.
Through these partnerships, we aim to advance science-based solutions that support productivity, resource stewardship, and long-term sustainability across agricultural and forest systems.
We also strive to serve as a convening hub: connecting people, data, and ideas to accelerate adoption of practices that deliver measurable benefits.
Thank you for your interest in our work!

The Hood Family Foundation Endowment
The Center for Greenhouse Gas Management in agriculture and Forestry was partially established by a $5 million gift of support from John Hood, Ph. D., and his wife, Sally Hood.
This significant contribution from the Hood Foundation will support initiatives of the center and provide crucial seed grants for groundbreaking research and early career researchers.
The endowment will continue to be instrumental in advancing our mission across research, outreach, and education, paving the way for innovative solutions and a sustainable future.
