🌱 Exciting progress is happening in the world of regenerative agriculture, thanks to forward-thinking leadership from private companies and nonprofits like Patagonia and the Holdfast Collective. Their financial investments are driving tangible change, as seen in initiatives like the partnership with Rodale Institute in California. "The $1 million from Holdfast is being coupled with a $1.5 million grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture, giving Rodale Institute $2.5 million to help transition farmers to regenerative organic practices. Institute staff will be able to consult directly with farmers when it comes to selecting crops, achieving certification, and even coordinating with the market, so farmers can earn a premium for their certified organic or regenerative organic produce." 👏 We need more entities like these stepping up and investing in regenerative practices, alongside public institutions, to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. This kind of collaboration is key to making a lasting impact. #Leadership #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture #ImpactInvesting #Patagonia #HoldfastCollective https://lnkd.in/dTXFKt3H

With the massive increase (3x last year) in RCPP funding in 2024 , it has us wondering: Are we going to see a higher number of projects funded, or higher funding amounts per project? Let us know what you think in the comments! #RCPP #Conservation https://bit.ly/3VXap2L

Partner with us! 🌱 📣 Is your organization applying for the $1.5B RCPP funding pool offered this year through the USDA-NRCS? Whether you’re pursuing a Classic or AFA opportunity, we’re excited to elevate your proposal as a project partner. So often we see prospective RCPP or CIG applicants with excellent ideas for on-farm trials, conservation practice adoption and research, but without the adequate consideration to farmer enrollment, contracting and practice verification. This can then leave the project team scrambling to find scalable solutions for farmer enrollment that are farmer-friendly. That’s why we’ve already partnered with several USDA-PCSC and RCPP grants to deliver white-labelled farmer enrollment, contracting, verification and paperwork support software that streamlines the entire process. https://lnkd.in/gF2Gk9pg If you’re interested in working with FarmRaise to elevate your proposal, please reach out to our team at partnerships@farmraise.com ASAP. We can provide matching and in-kind contributions, too! 💰

UPDATE: FarmRaise has released additional resources to help FSA cooperators and producers more easily access FSA disaster assistance programs! Check out USDA's press release below!

We are thrilled to support innovative and grower-oriented institutions like BDG who strive to scale up climate-smart ag through a streamlined, secure and user-friendly experience for their growers. 👏 🌱
