Key Points

This bill would create new government grants to study how land can be used to fight climate change. It focuses on natural methods like managing soil and forests to trap carbon instead of letting it enter the air.
The research would help farmers and foresters find ways to protect their land from extreme weather. It also aims to reduce water runoff and help different types of plants and animals thrive.
The plan encourages using traditional knowledge from local communities to manage the environment. This means looking at long-standing practices that have successfully protected nature in the past.
