U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced a $90 million investment in 53 Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) projects aimed at advancing conservation practices on private lands. This funding, made possible by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, focuses on innovative solutions to reduce livestock methane emissions and support climate-smart agriculture. The grants include over $69.7 million for On-Farm Trials and $20.2 million for Classic projects. Two projects in Pennsylvania will improve nutrient management and deploy precision agriculture technologies. Since 2004, CIG has invested $541.9 million in 929 projects, with a focus on enhancing soil health and addressing climate challenges. The Inflation Reduction Act also supports additional conservation programs and climate-smart initiatives across the U.S.
