To provide conservation technical assistance through partnerships that will leverage the expertise, experience, and capacity of other organizations to address climate change and to broaden the footprint of climate-smart agriculture. These monitoring and evaluation efforts will support the quantification of carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, directly tied to the conservation program investments.

Eligible Uses: To carry out a program to quantify carbon sequestration and carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions, through which the Natural Resources Conservation Service shall collect field-based data to assess carbon sequestration and reduction in carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions outcomes and use the data to monitor and track those carbon sequestration and emissions trends through the Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Assessment Program of the Department of Agriculture.
