The main purpose of this legislation is to update and clarify the criteria for land that can be enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which is part of the Food Security Act of 1985. The CRP aims to improve environmental health by encouraging landowners to convert environmentally sensitive land into conservation areas. This bill, known as the BUFFER Act, seeks to enhance ecological resilience by expanding the types of land eligible for this program. Key provisions of the BUFFER Act include changes to the eligibility criteria for land enrollment in the CRP.
