What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Climate Agricultural Conservation Practices Act," directs the Natural Resources Conservation Service to review national conservation practice standards. The review process must specifically take into consideration climate benefits. This is achieved by amending the Food Security Act of 1985. The amendment includes an evaluation of the climate benefits of existing standards. It also provides a specific definition for what constitutes a "climate benefit."
