The Environmental Protection Agency’s Gulf of America Division has announced up to $50 million in new grant funding aimed at improving water quality, habitat restoration, environmental resilience, and environmental education across America’s working lands. The funding is part of the Farmer-to-Farmer grant program, which supports farmer-led and farm-focused organizations operating within the Gulf of America watershed. The agency expects to award 20 to 30 grants, with individual awards ranging from $1.5 million to $2.5 million, each supporting five-year projects. The program focuses on helping farmers reduce nutrient nonpoint source pollution while sharing and scaling innovative conservation practices. It also emphasizes data collection and farmer-to-farmer engagement to test and validate regenerative approaches in real-world agricultural settings. “Farmers are among our nation’s most effective stewards of the land and conservators of our natural resources,” said EPA Region 4 Administrator Kevin McOmber.
