Watershed Funding Announced by USDA

Three categories of projects will be funded.

Compiled by staff

Published: Apr 9, 2010

USDA has announced the availability of approximately $25 million in fiscal year 2010 to fund projects designed to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies through its Conservation Innovation Grants program in fiscal year 2010. USDA will use these competitive grants to seek creative solutions to assist producers with emerging and traditional agricultural and natural resource issues.

Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says the grants will assist producers in using market-based approaches to conservation and innovative technologies that can put conservation on the land. Emerging issues include energy conservation, specialty crops, and new methods of tackling climate change. The grants also will fund solutions to improve water, soil and air quality, improve nutrient management, and enhance wildlife habitat and pollinator populations.

The funding will be broken down into three categories: National, the Mississippi River Basin and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
