Farming Incentives: Reducing Greenhouse Gases and Boosting Carbon Storage.
This bill modifies existing agricultural support programs to include new environmental incentives for farmers. Farmers can now receive financial contracts for adopting practices that actively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane and nitrous oxide, and increase carbon storage in soil and plants. The goal is to promote sustainable farming, indirectly benefiting the environment and climate for all citizens.
Key points
New contracts incentivize farmers to use methods that reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions from their operations.
Financial support programs will now explicitly cover activities aimed at increasing carbon stored in soil and crops.
