We are one of only seven nurseries participating in the project. Through the CFNP, nurseries can detail and quantify their energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and identify specific ways to reduce both. The project's central goal is to reduce energy inputs and GHG emissions while achieving greater economic efficiency and profitability.
The nursery industry is the largest sector of Oregon agriculture. This partnership will be a three-year coordinated effort to measure GHG emissions and identify practices and strategies to reduce energy use and costs in nursery production. It is the goal of the partnership to support a healthy environment and promote practices that will help Oregon nurseries be more profitable.
