The U.S. Department of Agriculture will distribute an additional $325 million in funding for projects tailored to smaller-scale farmers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, taking its total annual investment in climate-friendly farming to more than $3 billion, the agency announced Monday.
USDA's efforts are part of a broader Biden administration goal to cut emissions across the U.S. economy and are targeting the approximately 10% of U.S. emissions generated from farming annually, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
