USDA makes $1.5 billion available to help farmers advance conservation and climate-smart agriculture as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda
April 03, 2024 | USDA |
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) allocates a historic $1.5 billion for fiscal year 2024 through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to support conservation and climate solutions. This investment, part of President Biden's agenda, aims to assist farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners in adopting conservation practices to address the climate crisis. The RCPP funding, facilitated by the Inflation Reduction Act, supports innovative projects that enhance natural resources, save farmers money, and create new revenue streams. The program prioritizes climate-smart agriculture, urban agriculture, conservation, and environmental justice, aligning with President Biden's initiatives. USDA encourages proposals from historically underserved entities and Indian tribes, with a focus on advancing equity and conservation efforts. Additionally, the agency is streamlining RCPP processes, providing webinars for further information, and investing in program improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This investment underscores USDA's commitment to transforming America's food system and addressing climate challenges.
