Developing Climate-Smart Agriculture and Markets Amongst Socially-Disadvantaged, Limited-Resource, and Urban Farmers in Ohio and Michigan

Central State University,
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. _

This project would combine monitoring, outreach, and technical support to foster the adoption of climate-smart practices by minority vegetable and beef cattle farmers socially disadvantaged and limited resource farmers of Ohio and southern Michigan. It also creates synergy between climate-smart feedlot operations and socially disadvantaged farmers. Project partners plan to recruit minority vegetable and beef cattle farmers and selected Central State University students who would receive additional training on climate-smart agriculture. Small-scale and urban vegetable farmers enrolled in this project would receive funds to cover part of their operating costs.
