NCA & t recruitment bioe program

This cooperative agreement award of $250,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA 10.902) will support North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) in delivering conservation technical assistance to private landowners, conservation districts, tribes, and other organizations. The project aims to promote sustainable agriculture practices and help conserve natural resources like soil, water, air, and wildlife habitats through education, outreach, technical guidance, conservation planning, monitoring, and direct implementation of conservation practices and treatments on agricultural lands. The project period runs from August 7, 2023 through September 29, 2024. As a historically black college and university (HBCU) with extensive federal research experience, NC A&T is well-positioned to partner with underserved producers and communities on USDA conservation priorities.
