Enhanced Funding Option through USDA Partnership Program Aims to Increase Flexibility and Delivery of Conservation Innovation
NRCS will invest up to $50 million in fiscal year 2020 to fund a unique, partner-led approach to addressing natural resource concerns at local, regional and landscape scales.
Through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program’s (RCPP) Alternative Funding Arrangements (AFA), NRCS is authorized to fund up to 15 projects where partners will be given greater liberty to manage an RCPP project and the associated relationships with participating producers and landowners.
NRCS is looking for AFA project proposals now through May 18.
The Regional Conservation Partnership Program is a partner-driven approach to conservation that funds solutions to natural resource challenges on agricultural land. By leveraging collective resources and collaborating on common goals, RCPP demonstrates the power of public-private partnerships in delivering results for agriculture and conservation.
