Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act of 2023

HR 6811 creates new federal grants to fund research on land management practices that store carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural lands, forests, grasslands, and wetlands. The bill requires these grants to support projects using traditional ecological knowledge, promoting biodiversity and climate resilience, and reducing water runoff. It directly affects researchers, land managers, and farmers by expanding funding opportunities for climate-friendly practices. The legislation amends existing law to add this specific grant category under agricultural research programs.
