Accelerating Appalachia is dedicated to promoting conservation agriculture throughout Central and Southern Appalachia, as well as the rural Southeast. Our mission is to support resilient regional production and manufacturing in food, fiber, and forest products.
We have launched an innovative program aimed at improving soil health and expanding conservation farming across Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Southern Ohio, and Northern Georgia. This initiative is made possible through our USDA grant-funded farmer funding program.
Through our Farmer Fund, we offer $12 million in cash incentives and an additional $6 million in training and marketing services. This funding will enable us to incentivize over 600 producers with direct incentives of up to $1,000 per acre for adopting conservation farming and forestry practices.
As a participant in our farmer funding program, you will receive training in conservation farming, soil testing services, mentorship, peer support, and promotional opportunities through national, regional, and local media.
