USDA has committed $1.5 billion to 92 Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) projects, with partners contributing an additional $968 million to maximize impact.
These projects support farmers, ranchers and landowners in implementing locally led conservation strategies that address natural resource challenges and climate resilience. A dedicated $100 million is reserved for Tribal-led projects, with seven awards granted to five Tribes.
The USDA’s commitment to RCPP has led to over 800 projects, leveraging $8 billion to enhance agricultural and environmental sustainability nationwide, the department said.
