Farmers and agriculture industry producers across the state are implementing practices that strive toward a more efficient and resilient future. The North Carolina Foundation for Soil & Water Conservation, a nonprofit established in 1999, creates innovative conservation programming to promote and conserve the natural resources in North Carolina. Their Carbon Farm Planning project and their multi-species cover crop initiative are two of their more recent programs that support “green” initiatives. Additionally, the Foundation’s sister nonprofit, The North Carolina Association of Conservation Districts, awarded the 2021 Conservation Farm Family of the Year award to S&S Farms of Pitt County. Learn more about their farm in the video at the end of this blog and keep reading to hear about how these projects are impacting our communities, state and nation.
