Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) is a successful program in California that supports the livestock industry and is an example of what can be done nationally in the United States through a variety of practices on responsible manure management; (2) the 195 existing projects under AMMP are contributing towards the reduction of 1,600,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases; and (3) these practices enhance sustainability and nurture continued environmental stewardship, ultimately leading to enhanced local air quality and recycled manure for use as a natural fertilizer or compost for healthier soil.
