USDA harnesses Conservation Reserve for climate mitigation

USDA harnesses Conservation Reserve for climate mitigation Some 20.8 million acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve at the moment, well below current limit of 25 million acres, which will rise to 27 million acres by 2023. By 4/22/2021 On the day before Earth Day, the USDA said it will offer higher rental rates and larger incentive payments to landowners who agree to idle environmentally fragile farmland and introduced a new payment for climate-smart practices to slow climate change. The expansions would boost spending on the Conservation Reserve by $300 million or more annually an 18% increase, said the White House on Wednesday. The USDA said it was putting a sharper focus on climate mitigation by the Conservation Reserve, the largest federal land idling program. It set a goal of attracting 4 million acres into the reserve in coming months.

USDA to raise CRP payment rates to get more acres

  Troubled by farmers’ and landowners’ lack of enthusiasm for enrolling land in the Conservation Reserve Program, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA will open enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) with higher payment rates, new incentives, and a more targeted focus on the program’s role in climate change mitigation. Vilsack announced the changes at a meeting of the National Climate Task Force, and the White House in turn highlighted the announcement in a readout of the task force meeting. (For a broader look at the task force meeting, see top story.) Vilsack also announced investments in partnerships to increase climate-smart agriculture, including $330 million in 85 Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) projects and $25 million for On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials.
