The jury's still out on how much these technologies will actually cost once they are on the farms. We know the alternatives are out there, but the costs appear out of reach.

Environmental Defense is pleased to work with Frontline Farmers on a voluntary plan to help farmers get affordable access to new technologies in a timely manner.

The fastest way to claim the benefits of new technologies and reduce the cost is to install them on farms. Putting a sufficient numbers of new technologies on the ground will increase competition, prompt engineering improvements and spur the development of markets for new by-products that will increase farm revenues.
