The resources on this website include information and tools to help farmers and ranchers compost agricultural byproducts, including manure, and maintain compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website is hosted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and was developed as part of a larger collaborative working group that was co-led by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), US Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (USDA NRCS), and California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) as well as eleven additional state and regional regulatory bodies. The working group was formed in 2019 to help reduce barriers and clarify regulatory requirements for producers wishing to co-compost off-site agricultural waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalifornia farmers and ranchers have long understood the benefits of this proven practice, just like those who embrace composting at home\u201d said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. \u201cThis multi-agency effort will help meet farmer demand for more on-farm composting to ensure safe, nutrient rich soil, and this new on-line resource provides a single location to show our producers how to put it all together in compliance with California environmental regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalifornia will dramatically cut a major source of climate warming gas when we launch food and yard waste composting statewide in 2022,\u201d said California Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Jared Blumenfeld. \u201cUsing this compost on our agricultural and rangelands will add to that greenhouse gas reduction and help drought-ravaged soil retain water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tools created by the On-Farm Compost Work Group will help promote the composting of agricultural materials in California,\u201d added EPA Pacific Southwest Acting Regional Administrator Deborah Jordan. \u201cComposting is an alternate pathway for agricultural materials, which will reduce ag burning in California, thus protecting air and water quality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cApplication of compost is a common soil health practice, that can help farmers in our arid climate maintain and build soil carbon,\u201d said NRCS California State Conservationist Carlos Suarez. \u201cCompost application improves plant health and crop yields, increases water retention and infiltration, and sequesters carbon. This effort helps create valuable soil amendments from diverse on-farm resources. It\u2019s a win-win for California agriculture\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resource website launch falls during <a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdfa.ca.gov%2Fhealthysoilsweek&amp;data=04%7C01%7Csteve.lyle%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C43f1f01bfa0e49bdcd3508d9b5ef4938%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C637740861595740348%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=FQPi9GqUaIGJ%2FrW45t4IAMnTYNLiO9qLKRVHlh%2F8wyk%3D&amp;reserved=0\">California\u2019s Healthy Soils Week<\/a> which continues through Dec. 10.
