The Department has outlined and requested
public comments on a new climate partnership initiative designed
to create new revenue streams for producers via market
opportunities for commodities produced using climate-smart
practices.
Guided by science, USDA will support a set of pilot projects
that provide incentives to implement climate-smart conservation
practices on working lands and to quantify and monitor the
carbon and greenhouse gas benefits associated with those
practices. The Department published a Request for Information (RFI)
seeking public comment and input on design of the new
initiative. Stakeholders interested in providing comments may do
so on or before 11:59 p.m. EST on November 1, 2021, via the
Federal Register, Docket ID: USDA-2021-0010.
