Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture

The Alliance to Advance Climate-Smart Agriculture is a pilot program that pays farmers and ranchers $100 per acre or animal unit for adopting climate-smart agricultural practices that will maintain and enhance agricultural productivity, benefit producers, and improve climate resilience. The pilot is open to producers in select counties in Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Virginia, with a budget of $80 million as part of USDA’s Advancing Markets for Producers initiative. Led by Virginia Tech with participation from more than 14 state and national partners.
