Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act of 2023
This bill amends a 1990 agricultural law to create new federal research and extension grants focused on "natural climate solutions." It directs funding for projects that improve land management practices on agricultural lands, soils, grasslands, wetlands, and forests to store carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key provisions require these projects to incorporate traditional ecological knowledge, promote biodiversity and climate resilience, and reduce runoff. The grants directly support researchers, farmers, and land managers working on these specific conservation practices.
