Plain-English Summary

The bill would create grants that help farmers, ranchers, and forest managers research and adopt practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and capture carbon from the atmosphere, such as improved soil management and tree planting. These grants would fund both scientific research into these "natural climate solutions" and educational programs to help agricultural communities implement them. The funding would support rural economies while addressing climate change through land-based approaches.
