The federal government has announced another $325 million for agricultural projects that are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
FILE - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack speaks about the Aim for Climate Initiative with United Arab Emirates Minister for Climate Change and Environment Mariam Almeiri, in the UAE Pavilion at the COP27 U.N. Climate Summit, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Nov. 11, 2022. The federal government on Monday, Dec. 12, announced another $325 million for agricultural projects that are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“It’s important that we send a message that it’s not about the size of your operation, that you don’t only benefit from the programs like this if you’re a large-scale producer,” Vilsack told The Associated Press. “If you’re a producer that historically has not been able to participate fully and completely in programs at USDA, that this program is going to be different.”
— $4.9 million to help small and socially disadvantaged farmers in San Diego County, California, by improving soil health through applying compost, reducing tillage of the land and growing trees and shrubs. Agriculture causes an estimated 11% of the nation’s climate-warming emissions, and President Joe Biden has set a goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by half in the U.S. by 2030.
