The Indian Nations Conservation Alliance (INCA) will receive $710,000 through a cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service to expand the delivery of conservation assistance with an emphasis on climate-smart agriculture outreach to historically underserved farmers and ranchers including minority students in New Mexico. This award is provided through the Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA #10.902), which aims to provide conservation technical assistance to private landowners, tribes, and other organizations through locally-based conservation professionals to promote sustainable land use practices. Specifically, INCA will work to enhance conservation support networks and educational opportunities regarding climate-resilient agriculture for minority agricultural producers and students in New Mexico through April 2024.
