The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Environmental Farming and Innovation is announcing that it is now accepting applications for Climate Smart Agriculture Technical Assistance grants.
This effort supports climate-smart agriculture incentive grant programs which include: the Alternative Manure Management Program, Healthy Soils Program, and State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program.
The application period will last through July 27th.
Non-profits, Resource Conservation Districts, and the University of California Cooperative Extension are eligible organizations.
New this year, CDFA is offering a higher maximum award to organizations that will serve farmers and ranchers to provide services in languages other than English: up to $150,000 per program, or $450,000 if the grant is awarded to support all three programs.
