Rural Investment to Protect Our Environment (RIPE) is a producer-led organization based in the District of Columbia that advocates for national agricultural policy designed to compensate farmers and ranchers for stewardship practices. The group emphasizes payments for voluntary conservation activities that deliver public benefits such as carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas reductions, improved soil health, and better water quality. RIPE positions itself within the public policy arena, aiming to influence legislators from both parties by elevating the perspectives of producers. The organization operates with a small team and seeks to engage farmers and ranchers in its effort to align environmental objectives with rural livelihood. A recent focus is to expand producer involvement in its policy platform through outreach and participation opportunities.
