Coordination for Soil Carbon Research and Monitoring Act

Bill 119 HR 641, also known as the "Soil Carbon Sequestration Research Act," aims to create an interagency committee focused on researching and promoting the sequestration of carbon in soil. The bill recognizes the importance of soil health and its role in combating climate change by storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The committee established by this bill will be composed of representatives from various federal agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy. These agencies will work together to coordinate research efforts, share data, and develop strategies to enhance soil carbon sequestration practices.

In addition to research, the committee will also be tasked with promoting public awareness and education on the benefits of soil carbon sequestration. This includes working with farmers, landowners, and other stakeholders to implement practices that improve soil health and increase carbon storage. Overall, the Soil Carbon Sequestration Research Act aims to advance scientific understanding of soil carbon sequestration and promote sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and agricultural productivity. By bringing together experts from various agencies, this bill seeks to address the urgent need for innovative solutions to combat climate change and protect our natural resources.
