"From an ice-cold glass of milk to freshly churned ice cream, farm-fresh cheese to a rare steak, American beef and dairy is the best on planet Earthbut for decades, that excellence has come at a high emission cost to our environment," says Rep.
Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, in a press release on her bill to reduce methane emissions from livestock.
The Enteric Methane Innovation Tools for Lower Emissions and Sustainable Stock (EMIT LESS) Act, which she and fellow House Agriculture Committee member Marc Molinaro introduced last month, would empower the USDA to quantify the environmental benefits of products and practices that reduce enteric methane emissions, while also creating voluntary incentives through conservation programs to ease their adoption by producers.
"This legislation is proof that putting farmers and ranchers first doesn't mean putting the environment last!" says Molinaro, per the Washington Post.
The bill would: Create a product and practice testing capacity for the USDA to quantify the environmental benefits of products and practices that reduce enteric methane emissions; establish and expand training programs that familiarize farmers and ranchers with practices that reduce enteric methane emissions; review conservation practice standards that can assist in reducing enteric methane emissions; and establish any appropriate new standards to provide financial incentives for farmers and ranchers
