“Grant awarded from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Empowering Arizona to focus the next generation of potential producers on the need to engage in conservation and to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices. Empower Arizona identified partners who work with students who are predominantly from socially disadvantaged communities who either have existing agricultural programs they wish to expand or seek to establish a new agricultural program, but in either case do not have the funds, expertise, or supplies to do so. This project will permit partners to initiate new programmatic offerings and expand or enhance existing ones.”
