First Nations launched the Indigenous Partnership to Advance Native American Communities and Producers project in 2022 to bring together Native farmers and ranchers to coordinate services and resources to advance conservation, policy, advocacy, outreach, and education.
The project is designed to advance the efforts of Native American communities and producers through technical assistance, trainings, and grant funding.
This work is part of First Nations’ overall Stewarding Native Lands program and is made possible with support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS).
Through the project, First Nations is providing grants of $28,000 to select community partners to highlight the experience, knowledge, and resources of Native farmers and ranchers and their work in conservation and advancing conservation and agri-business strategies within their communities.
