Increasing Accessibility to Regenerative Farming Practices and Markets for Small and/or Underserved Producers
Greener World,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Closed December 15, 2023
All pilot participants would be paid a stipend to cover time spent on climate-smart regenerative farm planning and emissions reduction plan design. Each farm would also have access to incentive payments, dependent on their emissions reductions and specific implementation of Climate-Smart Agriculture and Forestry practices.
A Greener World plans to provide customized marketing support to all project producers. Partners would ensure all outreach and technical assistance efforts are culturally-relevant and would assist producers in becoming Certified Regenerative which allows them to access new climate-smart markets and sell commodities for a higher premium.
Eligibility
The project welcomes farmers who have full management and control of their farms, ensuring a holistic approach to the entire farm operation. It is best suited for farmers seeking to achieve clear traceability of their projects and products, fostering transparency and accountability. Whether you are involved in livestock production, cropping, or both, this program provides a framework that is adaptable to various farming systems and scales.
Terms
As part of their participation, farmers receive:
A $1250 stipend to cover time spent on climate-smart regenerative farm planning and emissions reduction plan design.
Auditing and certification with Certified Regenerative by AGW (up to a $2050 value), third-party verification to help access new climate-smart markets and premiums.
Access to incentive payments averaging $10,000, dependent on emissions reductions and specific implementation of climate-smart agriculture and forestry practices.
Technical assistance through RAFI-USA and customized marketing and labeling support through AGW
