The project awards announced today will support a variety of soil health practices on over 30,000 acres and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 73,800 tons of carbon dioxide, roughly equivalent to the emissions of 8 million gallons of gasoline.

As the next generation taking the lead of the family farm business, we&#8217;re excited to be investing in our soils through the help of the CDFA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the challenges producers are facing right now during the coronavirus crisis, including market disruptions and protecting the health of their employees, California\u2019s farmers and ranchers submitted a record-shattering 578 Healthy Soils Program incentives applications requesting a total of nearly $38 million. Combined with an additional 39 demonstration project applications requesting nearly $6 million, demand for the Healthy Soils Program was more than 3 times higher than one year ago and more than 6 times higher than just two years ago (see graph below).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13351 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HSP-Demand-Chart.jpg?resize=362%2C364&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HSP-Demand-Chart.jpg?w=362&amp;ssl=1 362w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HSP-Demand-Chart.jpg?resize=298%2C300&amp;ssl=1 298w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/HSP-Demand-Chart.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A number of factors have contributed to a greater number of farmers seeking out the climate smart agriculture program, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/ta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Increased funding for outreach and comprehensive technical assistance<\/a> that resulted from the passage of a CalCAN-sponsored bill in 2018 (AB 2377, Irwin)<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/application-period-open-for-record-25-million-round-of-healthy-soils-program-heres-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">number of improvements<\/a> CDFA made to the program in response to stakeholder feedback<\/li>\n<li>Vigorous outreach conducted early in the year by dozens of <a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/hsp-ta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">technical assistance providers<\/a> and non-profits, including CalCAN<\/li>\n<li>Growing awareness in the farming community of the program and the economic and resilience benefits of soil health practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This exciting news comes at a time when the state legislature is actively considering how to prioritize investments in what will be a tough budget year ahead.
