Farmers would get federal support for composting to improve soil and reduce waste.
This bill, called the COMPOST Act, would make composting an official conservation practice in federal farming programs. This means farmers could get federal help through existing programs for composting activities. It would also lead to new rules and standards for how composting is done on farms.
Today, composting is not officially recognized as a conservation practice in federal agricultural programs, limiting support for farmers. If this bill passes, the government would officially designate composting as a conservation practice, making farmers eligible for existing conservation program benefits for these activities and providing new practice standards.
