The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that $1.5 billion is available to support conservation and climate-smart agriculture. This money was part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda and the Inflation Reduction Act, allowing farmers to take certain conservation strategies that work together to enhance natural resources and help address climate change. The funding would be available for projects through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program, with a focus on climate-smart agriculture, urban agriculture, conservation, and environmental justice.
