Boulder County Sustainable Food and Ag Fund
Monday Dec 21st, 2020
Boulder County says the second round of grants through its Sustainable Food and Ag Fund will be available with the new year.
Tim Broderick, Senior Sustainability Strategist with the Office of Sustainability, Climate Action, and Resilience says farmers, producers, private and nonprofits are eligible to receive grants.
In year one priority was given to farm production.
Broderick: “ These are the farms that have been the backbone of regenerative and sustainable agriculture in Boulder County. So those were the organizations we knew could carry forward what they were putting out. The majority of the projects were focused on on-farm infrastructure, solar shades, water trailers, all kinds of systems needed for regenerative ranching. Several projects that focused on cover-cropping and soil health at the same time.”
