Lets farmers get paid for reducing greenhouse gases and storing carbon on their land.
This bill would let farmers and landowners get paid for new types of conservation efforts. Currently, these payments focus on general conservation. The bill would expand this to include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as nitrous oxide and methane. It would also cover storing carbon in plants or soil.
Today, conservation contracts for farmers address general environmental concerns and pay for overall conservation efforts. If this bill becomes law, these contracts would explicitly include reducing greenhouse gas emissions and storing carbon in plants or soil. Payments would then also consider these specific actions.
