Zero Foodprint's Restore CA Grant Now Open!

Zero Foodprint is private funding available for farmers/ranchers to improve soil health and sequester carbon on working landscapes. The solicitation period is open until April 22, 2021. This grant funds many of the same practices as the CDFA Healthy Soils Incentive Program, a state funded program which will open again later this summer. You may apply to both programs as long as they are for different practices. Practices include:

• compost application
• cover cropping
• prescribed grazing
• hedgerow establishment 
• and more!
