Healthy Soils Program Incentives Program
The HSP Incentives Program provides financial incentives to California growers and ranchers to implement conservation management practices that sequester carbon, reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs), and improve soil health. GHGs benefits are estimated using quantification methodology and tools developed by California Air Resources Board (CARB), USDA-NRCS and CDFA and soil health improvement will be assessed by measuring soil organic matter content.
CDFA received 222 applications for 2018 HSP Incentives Program requesting $9,743,893. For a list of submitted applications, CLICK HERE (New).
