Advancing Markets for Producers
USDA Shuts Down Biden-Era Climate Fund, Redirects Money Straight to Farmers
Anthony Lane
The USDA has shut down the Biden-era Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities program due to inefficiencies, redirecting funds to a new initiative called Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP). The new program ensures at least 65% of funds go directly to farmers, focusing on climate-smart practices like soil health, emissions reduction, and renewable energy. This shift aims to provide tangible benefits for farmers and streamline funding for sustainable agriculture.
