Specific Management for Arizona Resilience and Transformation Agriculture Best Management Practices (Climate-SMART)

Participants in this Arizona-based project would be paid to apply climate-smart practices that reduce pesticide and fertilizer inputs; reduce tillage, use diverse cover crop, rest pastures and use rotational grazing. The project would emphasize cross cultural knowledge sharing between Native American producers and other participants and would market climate-smart commodities through partnership networks.

Designed by Arizona’s Conservation Districts, AACD, and diverse partner groups to encourage growers in Arizona to adopt climate-smart agriculture and forestry practices that will allow for abundant agriculture while using practices that conserve water, promote healthy soil, and mitigate climate change providing beneficial ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration. The Program also emphasizes cross-cultural knowledge sharing between Native American producers and other participants.
