FAMU-BAERS is partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve the health of our Nation’s natural resources while encouraging the use of best management practices to improve the productivity of American agriculture for the underserved, socially disadvantaged Black farmer community. Our goal is to achieve this by providing volunteer participants an introduction to the technical and financial assistance available via the federal Farm Bill programs. This will be accomplished by reassuring strong partnerships with private landowners and managers in the underserved communities to conserve, protect, restore, and enhance the lands and waters upon which people and the environment depend.
