The funding will support select programs, which are offered by the Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust (DFWT), to improve soil health, sequester carbon, support biodiversity and enhance ecosystems.
The programs offered by the DFWT promote the sustainable use of agricultural land through the use of:
- cover crops after the summer harvest to improve soil quality and prevent winter erosion;
- pollinator-friendly flowering plants and grasses in targeted areas to support biodiversity and improve important food crop pollination;
- perennials in annual crop rotations to improve soil health and provide habitat for wildlife; and
- permanent rows of bushes and plants along field borders to improve biodiversity and sequester carbon.
