The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is now accepting grant applications from commercial dairies and livestock operations for the installation of equipment and implementation of practices that result in long-term methane emissions reductions and maximize environmental co-benefits. CDFA is offering both of its flagship dairy and livestock methane reduction grants: the Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) and the Dairy Digester Research and Development Program (DDRDP). AMMP has approximately $17.4 million available, and DDRDP has approximately $8 million available for awards. CDFA is also opening a second grant-round for its Dairy Plus Program, a collaborative effort between the CDFA and the California Dairy Research Foundation (CDRF) funded by the USDA Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities program.
