This $40 million project grant from the USDA Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office supports efforts to expand climate-smart commodity markets in Hawaii and promote climate-smart agricultural practice implementation by farmers and ranchers. Awarded on May 24, 2023 with a completion date of May 31, 2028, the funding supports the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program (CFDA #10.937). Lynker Corporation serves as the prime recipient and coordinates various sub-awardees to deliver technical assistance, training, market development, and data tools to producers. Sub-awardees include Hawaii agricultural organizations and cooperatives, research institutions, and non-profits that will provide services such as demonstration of best practices, agronomic support, education and outreach, and development of a climate-smart commodities portal and dashboard for producers to report practice data.
