The EQIP offers financial and technical assistance to farmers to adopt and implement conservation practices. It offers innovation grants to livestock producers and owners of working farmlands to accelerate the development, transfer, and adoption of innovative technologies and approaches, including those that deliver GHG benefits and improve the quality of nutrient management systems. (http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/natc/usa_nc5.pdf). Under the Trump administration, the climate-focused funding for the EQIP under the Inflation Reduction Act was frozen, and the environmental requirements under the programme were also weakened.
