USDA Awards New Partnership Project to Combat Climate Change

USDA Awards New Partnership Project to Combat Climate Change


The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announces it is investing $7.85 million in a locally driven, public-private partnership to address climate change and protect agricultural land. The Farmland Preservation and Climate Change Mitigation Project is a partnership between the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Clearwater Conservancy, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and the Rodale Institute.

The project has been awarded through the NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) and will help implement climate-smart conservation practices on preserved farms and acquire farmland and forest easements across the state of Pennsylvania.
