A coalition of organizations urges the US government to maintain conservation funding, expand research into biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), and accelerate the USDA's adoption of new conservation practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil carbon.

• The signatories advocate for the maintenance of existing conservation funding, noting that such programs support projects that enhance soil health, climate resilience, and farm economics through climate-beneficial practices.
• The organizations recommend that the USDA and the Forest Service conduct research on biomass from farm and forest ecosystems, specifically regarding biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) technologies such as biochar and biomass energy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS). This research should cover greenhouse gas impacts, soil effects of biochar, soil carbon modeling, and supply chain sustainability.
• The document calls for the USDA to speed up the review and implementation of new conservation practices, such as next-generation feed supplements and the application of basalt to fields, to ensure they become eligible for funding through programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Priority should be given to practices that positively impact greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon.
