Nwiaa requests funding that will provide unique 'proof of concept'/pilotprogram that uses technology to sequester carbon, methane, and othergreenhouse gases, which ultimately affects climate change

The National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $710,000 cooperative agreement to the National Women In Agriculture Association through the Soil and Water Conservation federal grant program (CFDA 10.902) on September 7, 2022 to be completed by September 29, 2024.

Under this cooperative agreement, the National Women In Agriculture Association will provide a unique pilot program using greenhouse gas sequestration technologies to address climate change. The program aims to test approaches that sequester carbon, methane and other greenhouse gases, in support of the Soil and Water Conservation program's mission of providing conservation technical assistance to private landowners and organizations through locally-based conservation professionals. The two-year period and funding amount of $710K will allow for proof of concept testing and evaluation of technologies that could ultimately affect climate change through reduced greenhouse gas levels.
