Healthy soils increase water retention, enhance biodiversity, capture atmospheric carbon, and play an important role mitigating climate change.<\/p>\n<p>CDFA is deeply committed to this issue through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/oefi\/healthysoils\/\">Healthy Soils Program<\/a>, which provides grant funding to farmers and ranchers implementing practices to reduce greenhouse gases and improve soil health. In 2017 and 2018 the agency funded 110 projects covering more than 8,600 acres in California, with $7.5 million in funding from the California Climate Investments fund.
