Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP)
CDFA’s Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) provides financial assistance for the implementation of non-digester manure management practices in California, which will result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
CDFA awarded 13 applications for 2020 Alternative Manure Management Program requesting $8.93 million in grant funds. For the list of awarded applications, click here.

What is the alternative manure management program?
CDFA’s Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) provides financial assistance for the implementation of non-digester manure management practices in California, which will result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
What is an alternative manure management practice?
Alternative manure management practices involve handling manure in ways that don't involve using an anaerobic digester. Currently, eligible practices for funding through AMMP include: pasture-based management; alternative manure treatment and storage (such as compost bedded pack barns); and solid separation or conversion from flush to scrape in conjunction with some form of drying or composting of collected manure.
How is AMMP Funded?
CDFA receives funding from the Climate Investments program for methane emissions reductions from dairy and livestock operations.
What have been the benefits?
The 102 AMMP projects funded so far are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 996,030 metric tons of CO2e over 5 years.
Does the AMMP fund Demonstration projects?
AMMP Demonstration Projects funds two types of projects:
- AMMP Demonstration Projects – New Technologies and Practices will fund projects that demonstrate to a wide audience innovation in the implementation of diverse manure management practices that reduce methane emissions and maximize environmental co-benefits on California dairy and livestock operations.
- AMMP Demonstration Projects – Advancing Practices Farmer-To-Farmer will fund projects that demonstrate through farmer-to-farmer outreach, the manure management practices that reduce methane emissions and maximize environmental co-benefits on California dairy and livestock operations.
More information can be found on the AMMP Demonstration Project page.
