Applications for farm partnership grants open through April 15

Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education is accepting applications through April 15 for its Partnership Grants program, which awards up to $30,000 for projects that partner with farmers to address agricultural sustainability.

Eligible applicants include municipalities, nonprofits, farms and farmers, farming industry businesses, and colleges and universities.

Projects must be located in the northeastern United States, explore innovative topics through experiments, surveys, or other research and education techniques, impact both the farmer partner and farms in the region, and include outreach activities to the wider farming community.

More information is available on the Northeast SARE website or the call for proposals at northeast.sare.org/PartnershipGrantCall, which provides full applicant and project eligibility information.

Interested applicants may register to attend weekly question-and-answer sessions, hosted by Northeast SARE, on Tuesdays through the end of March.

Northeast SARE is one of four regional SARE programs funded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, and offers grants and education to farmers and stakeholders to address key issues affecting the sustainability of agriculture throughout the region.
