Developing Capacity to Quantify Climate-Smart Practices in Cool Season Specialty Crops
University Corporation at Monterey Bay,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
This project would provide advanced, technical assistance in English and Spanish to underserved and small grower partner operations to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use, plant cover crops and use soil amendments. Growers would receive mini-grants to monitor and report grower experience and conservation outcomes related to the implementation of proposed practices.
Bilingual student Climate-Smart Ag Ambassadors plan to work directly with technical assistance staff and farmers to alleviate communication barriers and provide direct on-farm outreach to growers through field demonstration days.
