Increased Support for Farmers Improving Soil Health and Climate Resilience.

This law expands USDA conservation programs to offer greater financial support for farmers adopting innovative soil health practices, such as agroforestry and nutrient recycling. It prioritizes projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage in the soil. Farmers can receive higher payments that account for potential revenue loss or increased economic risk during the transition to more sustainable farming systems.
Key points
New financial incentives and supplemental payments are available for farmers transitioning to organic or perennial production systems, covering lost revenue and economic risk.
USDA conservation programs (EQIP and CSP) will prioritize projects focused on improving soil health, increasing carbon sequestration, and reducing climate impact.
The bill establishes new national and regional agroforestry centers to provide research, technical assistance, and grants for tree-based farming systems.
