California is the nation’s leading agricultural production state when it comes to value and crop diversity, and in order to keep that title, maintaining healthy soils throughout the state’s farm and ranchlands is vital. The Healthy Soils Program is accepting applications now and aims to promote the development of such soils, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while providing a variety of benefits to the local community. The objective of HSP, which was authorized by the Budget Act of 2016, is to build soil carbon and reduce agricultural greenhouse emissions in support of the Healthy Soils Initiative, led by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
