This will help improve air quality throughout the state, but particularly in the San Joaquin Valley which suffers from unacceptably high levels of fine particle pollution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FARMER funding allocations come from proceeds from the state\u2019s cap-and-trade program ($85 million), the Air Quality Improvement Fund ($15 million) and the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Fund ($35 million). The California Legislature directed funds from these three sources to reduce emissions from the agricultural sector through grants, rebates and other financial incentives.<\/p>\n<p>Because the San Joaquin Valley has the vast majority of California\u2019s agricultural operations and experiences the greatest negative health impacts from agricultural emissions, 80 percent of the funding \u2014 $108 million \u2014 will be distributed by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to farmers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Legislators placed special emphasis on purchasing vehicles and equipment that use advanced technologies such as clean diesel or electricity in order to accelerate improvements in air quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/CARB\/bulletins\/1ebeb35\">Link to news release page<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: Funded by Cap-and-Trade dollars, California Climate Investments continue to support the creation of programs that reduce greenhouse gases on agricultural operations.
