Training for Farmers: New Methods for Soil Health and Regenerative Agriculture
This Act mandates the Department of Agriculture to establish a training program for its staff and consultants on modern biological soil health management systems. The goal is to better support farmers in transitioning to regenerative practices, which can increase crop resilience to extreme weather and potentially lower food production costs. Citizens can expect more sustainable food production and improved environmental quality, including water resources.
Key points
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) must establish a training program on biological soil health management systems for its personnel and third-party technical providers.
The training aims to help farmers implement methods that build soil fertility, reduce the need for expensive fertilizers and pesticides, and increase carbon sequestration.
The program includes online curricula and in-person workshops, and its content will be updated every two years based on the latest scientific advancements.
$10 million is authorized for appropriation to carry out the program during fiscal years 2024 through 2028.
