Included in this initiative is the $56.7 million Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program (RALP), that supports land uses that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon.
RALP is accompanied by a supplemental program called the Agricultural Stewardship Initiative (ASI), a $5 million cost-share that will enable farmers to modify their equipment and adapt operations to support sustainability and increase yields.
The governments are also investing $7 million, over five years, to extend the On-Farm Applied Research and Monitoring (ONFARM) program to further understand and communicate best on-farm practices for soil health and water quality.
