The grant will allow for continued research as part of USDA's Climate-Smart Commodities program.
Even though the climate-smart
potatoes project is working with a lot
of the major potato companies, the
majority of the money from the grant
will be used to assist independent
farmers, as well as interested Native
American tribes, who are now looking to
utilize their lands for agriculture. There
are significant areas that are tribal lands
over the three-state landscape, and
the tribes have historically not used
their lands for potato production.
" But they are very significant
landowners, and many of them are
transitioning more towards farming
themselves and farming their own
lands, " said Steiner.
So far, and even with such a short
amount of time to prepare the
proposal, the Nez-Perce and Yakama
tribes have officially signed up to
participate in the project. Other tribes
have shown interest, but have yet to
formally be involved.
Of the $50 million grant, 70-75%
is going to conservation support
payments to farmers and the
participating tribes, almost evenly
split between tribe and non-tribe
farmers. The rest will be allocated
to the three different universities to
conduct the research and document
the effects of the climate-smart
practices. Enrollment in the project
is undetermined at the moment, as
it's a relatively new project, and it
depends on the number of acres that
the project could cover.
If these practices show an increase
in captured carbon and soil health,
they would ideally be adopted beyond
the five years of the project, putting
