CDFA now accepting suggestions for new management practices for alternative manure management program
June 12, 2018 by Manure Manager magazine
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation is now accepting new dairy and livestock manure management practices for consideration in the Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP).
The goal of this effort is to improve program effectiveness and increase stakeholder engagement.
Funded by California Climate Investments, AMMP provides financial assistance for the implementation of non-digester manure management practices in California, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Accordingly, all new practices must achieve methane emission reductions at California dairy and livestock operations through non-digester management practices.
Submission requirements, the process for inclusion, and additional details can be found at: www.cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/AMMP.
All submissions are due by 5:00 P.M. PDT on June 28, 2018 and must be submitted to cdfa.oefi@cdfa.ca.gov.
