The Wallace Center at Winrock International is pleased to announce the nine recipients of its Farmer Conservation Leader Subaward Program, an initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Gulf of Mexico Division. This program addresses the needs of historically underserved farming communities in the Mississippi River Region by providing funding and technical support to organizations to design and implement sustainable conservation projects. https://lnkd.in/epn4DHX7 #Sustainability #Mississippi #SustainableAg #Agriculture #Farming #Conservation #ClimateSolutions

Farmers and ranchers in the USA are concerned that the latest iteration of the Farm Bill, due this month, may undermine some of the climate-smart agriculture funding that was included in the Inflation Reduction Act. In 2023, the IRA made US$850m available for climate-focused conservation, while applications totalled US$2.8bn. Farmers are using funds to build climate-resilience into their operations, with particular focus on erosion, soil health, water quality and wildlife habitat. But it’s unclear whether the climate-focused approach will be retained in the new bill. https://lnkd.in/eWKgxcNs #usagriculture #climate #climatesmart #conservation #resilience
Farmers and Ranchers Love the IRA’s Climate-Smart Funding. Will the House Farm Bill Pull the Rug Out from Under Them?

Supporting landholders through incentives for better land management is crucial. Programs like Farm Household Allowance, Rural Financial Counsellors, and concessional loans provide financial and counselling support for those in hardship, promoting resilience against droughts and market disruptions. The Farm Management Deposit Scheme and tax concessions for sustainable practices underscore the importance of proactive, preventive approaches to land care. Encouraging investment in infrastructure and practices that improve land resilience helps reduce the need for emergency drought support, emphasising Landcare's preventive role in sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship. Let me explain further. Engaging in Landcare offers landholders significant benefits, such as access to knowledge and practices that improve soil health, water retention, and biodiversity, which are essential for sustainable farming and resilience against environmental challenges. Participation in Landcare not only enhances farm productivity and environmental health but also provides a supportive community network, sharing resources and expertise to innovate and implement sustainable land management practices. This collaborative approach strengthens local ecosystems and economies, making a compelling case for landholders to actively participate in Landcare initiatives. Our movement can help reduce Government support in solving the problems from drought by incentivising Landcare strategies that reduce the impacts of droughts in the first instance. https://bit.ly/3HNC0LX Landcare NSW Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry NSW Department of Primary Industries Department of Regional NSW
