Read the following passage carefully:
Under the 2026 Agro-Ecological Resilience Framework, state agricultural boards are mandated to restrict chemical fertilizer subsidies for farms operating within designated vulnerable watershed zones. However, farms that transition at least 40% of their land area to zero-budget natural farming practices within two years remain eligible for transition grants, provided they do not expand their irrigated perimeter beyond 2024 baselines. Furthermore, participating farms that achieve certified soil organic carbon levels above 1.5% receive priority access to municipal micro-irrigation infrastructure funding, regardless of their total landholding size. The policy explicitly excludes commercial monoculture plantations from receiving any form of transition grants or priority infrastructure access.
Based on the passage above, which of the following statements can be logically inferred?
- A commercial monoculture plantation that transitions 50% of its land to zero-budget natural farming will remain ineligible for transition grants.Cevap
- A farm in a vulnerable watershed zone that expands its irrigated perimeter beyond 2024 baselines loses eligibility for transition grants even if it achieves the 40% natural farming threshold within two years.Cevap
- CFarms located outside designated vulnerable watershed zones are completely prohibited from applying for municipal micro-irrigation infrastructure funding.
- DAchieving a certified soil organic carbon level above 1.5% is mandatory for all farms in vulnerable watershed zones to retain chemical fertilizer subsidies.
