USDA Allocates $1.5B for Climate-Smart Farming
The USDA is accepting proposals through July 2 for projects that will help farmers, ranchers and forest landowners adopt and expand conservation strategies to enhance natural resources while tackling the climate crisis.
The projects could save farmers money, create new revenue streams and increase productivity, according to the USDA, which has set aside $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2024 to invest in partner-driven conservation and climate solutions through its Regional Conservation Partnership Program. The climate investment, made through the farm bill and the Inflation Reduction Act, also allows USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to boost funding for the program, according to a news release.
