Fact Sheet: Protect Climate-Smart Agriculture Funds in IRA

Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding is specifically allocated for projects that help fight climate change.

Congress must preserve IRA conservation funding for programs that reduce emissions and help farmers withstand extreme weather events.
