The Farmland Protection Implementation Grants (FPIG) Program provides financial assistance to counties, municipalities, soil and water conservation districts, and land trusts to implement farmland protection activities consistent with local agricultural and farmland protection plans. The most frequently funded activity is the purchase of agricultural conservation easements (PACE) on individual farms. FPIG may also fund other implementation activities, such as amendments to local laws affecting agriculture, option agreements (which&#x2004;lead to PACE), and the transaction costs of donated agricultural conservation easements.


FPIG is routinely offered as a statewide grant round in the spring of even-numbered years, and on occasion for topically specific or timely activities. Eligible applicants include counties, municipalities, soil and water conservation districts, and not-for-profit conservation organizations (land trusts); joint applications are allowed. Landowners do not apply to the Department — they should contact an eligible entity or their county Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board to express interest.

Agricultural Resiliency Against Tariffs Program

The Agricultural Resiliency&#x2004;Against Tariffs Program was announced in Governor Hochul's 2026 State of the State address to help offset rising costs and market loss that New York farmers faced in 2025 because of federal tariff policy.

The minimum payment per eligible entity is $1,000; the maximum payment is $25,000. Funds were distributed through two tracks: Track 1 — Cow Dairy Farms; and Track 2 — Livestock, Livestock Products, Specialty Crops, and Aquaculture Farms.

Across New York State, there are over one thousand community growing spaces in both rural and urban landscapes, and there is demand to establish more and expand existing sites. Most community growing spaces are in underserved&#x2004;communities and often, the mission to grow one’s own plot is to feed themselves. There is little capital to help maintain these plots. Similarly, coordinators of these spaces are often not-for-profits with limited support to expand and sustain capacity, develop infrastructure and secure reliable tenancy to the land. This grant program was established as a strategy to improve food security by making resources available to ensure the viability and sustainability of these community growing spaces.

Grant with a real floor and ceiling, and no match. From the RFA cover sheet: "$2,500,000 Total Available / Individual Awards of $25,000 - $50,000 / Funding Match Required: None." In the body: "A total of $2,500,000 is available for this grant program. A maximum of $50,000 is available per award. The minimum grant amount is $25,000," and "The Urban Farms & Community Gardens Grant Program does not require a match."

Cash flow is the thing to plan for: "grant funds will be disbursed by reimbursement only. Awardees may request, at the discretion of the Department, an initial payment of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total grant award. The Department shall retain ten percent (10%) of the budget amount to be disbursed to the contractor until such time as the final report is accepted." So you front most of the money, and the last 10% only lands after your final report clears.

Eligible costs are unusually broad for a capital-flavored program: "Funds may be used to fund worker wages, contractual expenses, equipment, and other operating expenses," with a narrative justification required for each budget category. Costs incurred outside the awarded grant term are not eligible.

Term: "Projects must be completed within the January 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 project term." Round 3 applications were due September 5, 2025 at 4:00 pm, via SFS.

Funding for the farmer-driven Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) is supported by the New York State Legislature and is administered through the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The program funds on-farm research and technical assistance projects in NY’s 6 northernmost counties: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence, with benefits for farmers in the region and statewide.



Eligible Projects
On-farm research and technical assistance projects in NY’s 6 northernmost counties: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence benefit farmers in the region and statewide.
Each project MUST contain research as well as education and/or technical assistance components. Joint projects among CALS researchers, CCE educators, and other private/public sector collaborators in the region are very strongly encouraged.
Projects should include one or more research sites in the six-county NNY region. Research and demonstration sites can include Miner Institute, the Willsboro Research Farm, other agriculture research farm facilities, and/or other operating farms across the NNY region. The latter are strongly encouraged wherever possible for research and/or demonstration.
The outreach component MUST be designed to reach all six NNY counties. Any events, webinars, presentations, etc. associated with outreach for the project must include acknowledgement of the support of the NNYADP. The NNYADP logo will be made available for use.


- Guidelines and Application Form (doc) / (pdf) 
- Budget Template (doc) / (pdf)
- 2023 NNYADP Research Ideas (pdf)

- Extensive budget detail is not required, but a breakdown in broad categories must be provided. See proposal template for accepted budget categories.
- For projects involving CALS/CCE, budgets should clearly reflect funds to cover expenses incurred by CCE Associations as a result of their participation in the research and/or extension component of the project. Commitments from CCE educators as well as agreement on funding to support their work must be obtained prior to submission of the proposal. Similar attention should be given to detailing the proposed expenses of all collaborators.
- Requests for funds associated with personnel will need clear and compelling justification. Only that portion of personnel time allocated strictly to the NNYADP project will be considered for support.
- Travel funds to support work in NNY are eligible. Funds for travel to areas outside NNY will not be awarded without very strong justification.
