California has awarded $66 million for 940 projects as part of its Healthy Soils Program, which will have an estimated impact across more than 82,000 acres of farm and ranchland.

The full list of winners and the details of their awarded projects can be found here.

This latest round of grants brings the total for Healthy Soils projects to more than $107 million since the program began in 2017, funding projects that represent 136,254 acres of agricultural land, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

The state's Healthy Soils Initiative is funded by cap-and-trade dollars. It incentivizes a total of 27 practices which, in addition to carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, provide co-benefits such as improving water retention and water quality, a critical feature during the current drought, staet officials say.

Projects funded in this round of grants will provide an annual projected greenhouse gas emissions reduction of more than 250,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e), which is like removing nearly 54,000 vehicles from the road, according to the CDFA.
