| Federal grant | Department of Agriculture · Healthy Soils Are Essential To Human Well-being And To Overall Environmental Quality. Key To Soil Health Is Maintenance Of The SOIL'S Organic Carbon Content. Recently, Carbon Credit Markets Have Emerged A Means Of Incentivizing Practices That Increase The Organic Carbon Content Of Soils. The Resulting Carbon Sequestration In Soils Will Also Contribute To Stabilization Of Atmospheric CO2 Levels.
