The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation (OEFI) has completed the process for considering new manure management practices for inclusion in its Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP).
Proposals for new practices were accepted through a Request for Proposals (RFP) between July 6, 2020 and September 4, 2020. There were several important requirements needed to submit a manure management practice for consideration in AMMP. Submitted proposals were reviewed by subject matter experts within CDFA, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the AMMP Technical Advisory Committee. Recommendations for practices for potential inclusion under AMMP went out for public comment, and following consideration of responses received, the final determination is now available on the AMMP webpage. The AMMP, along with CARB, will work to incorporate new eligible practices into future iterations of the Quantitative Methodology and Request for Grant Applications.
