Project
Development Workshop
Presentation from January
17, 2012 (pdf)
Under the 2008 Farm Bill,
the Nevada State Department
of Agriculture (NDOA)
receives grant funding from
the United States Department
of Agriculture to enhance
the competitiveness of
Nevada's specialty crops
(fruits, vegetables, tree
nuts, dried fruits,
horticulture, and nursery
crops). In order to seek out
program enhancing projects
the NDOA conducts an annual
competitive application
process to award grant funds
to eligible/top scoring
candidates. Deadlines for
the 2012 application can be
found below.
The
SCBGP awards projects that
enhance the competitiveness of
specialty crops through
research, promotion, marketing,
nutrition, trade enhancement,
food safety, food security,
plant health programs,
education, increased
consumption, improved
efficiency, sustainable farming
systems, school garden programs,
and product development. A
primary objective of this
program is to ensure that more
than one individual is
benefiting from the project.
There are various previously
awarded projects that offer
educational workshops, hands-on
training, pilot studies, and
marketing initiatives that are
available to the public. If you
would be interested in receiving
notifications regarding these
opportunities please contact
Ashley Jeppson and you will be
added to the contact list. You
will also receive updates
regarding upcoming grant
deadlines. We appreciate your
interest and look forward to
hearing from you. |
