Farmers would get more support and payments for practices that improve soil health and fight climate change.
This bill would expand existing U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs to help farmers adopt practices that improve soil health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make their farms more resilient. It would also create new national and regional centers to research and promote agroforestry, which involves integrating trees and shrubs into farming. Farmers could receive payments for income lost when transitioning to these new practices.
Currently, USDA conservation programs support various practices, but this bill would specifically expand the focus and incentives for practices that directly address soil health, carbon capture, and greenhouse gas reduction. It would also establish new dedicated centers and grant programs to boost research and adoption of agroforestry, which is currently less emphasized.
