Soil CARE Act of 2023
The Soil CARE Act of 2023 requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to create a training program for its staff and agricultural advisors on regenerative soil health practices. This program includes online courses and regional workshops covering topics like building soil biology, transitioning to regenerative farming systems, supporting new/underserved farmers, and integrating tribal knowledge. The training must address soil health science, climate resilience, and conservation program access for farmers. USDA will spend $10 million over five years to implement this initiative, directly affecting USDA personnel, third-party advisors, and the farmers they serve.
