USA - NIFA Air Quality Projects to help prevent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced more than $5 million in grants to address air quality issues, including reducing agricultural atmospheric emissions and developing new mitigation practices.

Projects funded in Fiscal Year 2009 include one that will develop a novel method for greenhouse gas measurement from farms, three projects that develop tools and models to better predict emissions and dispersion of particulate matter from animal production facilities and gain a better understanding of factors governing emissions that will help identify points of mitigation.
