To amend the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to provide for high-priority research and extension grants for natural climate solutions, and for other purposes.
This bill amends federal agricultural law to establish a new research and extension grant program focused on natural climate solutions. The legislation directs the Department of Agriculture to fund research and educational grants for land management practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and store carbon in agricultural lands, grasslands, wetlands, and forests. The eligible practices include approaches based on traditional ecological knowledge that also promote biodiversity, climate resilience, and reduce water runoff. The bill affects farmers, ranchers, researchers, and universities that work in agriculture and natural resource management. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided, leaving those details to be determined through the appropriations process.
