| USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is awarding about $12.5 million in grants through the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) Program to support the development of innovative systems and technologies for private lands conservation.
“We are funding innovation,” said NRCS Chief Matthew Lohr. “These projects are tackling some of our most critical challenges head on and will result in new science-based tools for our toolbox and cutting-edge systems we can use to help farmers and ranchers improve the health of their operations and protect our natural resources for the future.” |
