Bill information

Summary

A bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct research relating to measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to conduct research on measuring and tracking greenhouse gas emissions and carbon storage in agricultural systems. Greenhouse gases are pollutants that trap heat in the atmosphere; carbon sequestration means removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it, often in soil. The research would help farmers and policymakers understand how agriculture affects climate change. The bill is currently introduced, meaning it has been formally submitted but not yet assigned to a for review.
