This grant is for the purpose of stimulating the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies within the state of Arkansas. As the final phase of the Arkansas State Component of the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program, it seeks to leverage Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, specifically in conjunction with agricultural production. Funded projects are expected to lead to the transfer of proven conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches directly into Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) policy, technical manuals, guides, references, or into the private sector. It is crucial to note that this grant does not fund research projects; rather, it supports the application or demonstration of already established and proven technologies to advance conservation efforts in the state.
