Cover Crop Utilization to Boost Anaerobic Digestion, Transform Chicken Litter, Enhance Soil Health, and Create Climate-Smart Commodity Pathways for Small Farms on the Delmarva Peninsula
University of Maryland Eastern Shore,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Notice: _On April 14, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the cancellation of the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities (PCSC). The USDA plans to reform the program into the Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) initiative. Contact your local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) for more information on how to apply to the AMP initiative. _
The project would directly address underserved producers on the Delmarva Peninsula by promoting climate-smart cover crops as a feedstock for digestor facilities. Project partners anticipate these facilities plan to provide a per acre incentive for harvested climate-smart cover crop biomass making them more economically sustainable and allowing for several project partners to promote and distribute the climate-smart products.
This project plans to focus on environmental justice especially in communities impacted by environmental hazards, social-economic stress and poor infrastructure.
