| Solicitation Profile |
This Request for Proposals (RFP) applies to proposals submitted for funding consideration under Agriculture and Markets Law Section 325-a, State assistance payments to not-for-profit conservation organizations.
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (the “Department”) invites eligible not-for-profit conservation organizations (Land Trusts) to submit proposals for financial assistance to conduct activities that will assist counties and municipalities with their agricultural and farmland protection efforts.
Specifically, State funding under this grant opportunity will support local agricultural and farmland protection goals by informing owners of viable agricultural land of the mechanisms and programs available to protect their lands from conversion to non-farm uses and highlighting on-farm marketing, production and agritourism opportunities for preserved farms. Projects will consist of outreach activities intended to reach the owners of viable agricultural land utilizing an inventory of viable agricultural lands and a screening process to identify subsets of landowners to focus on for such outreach activities.
Availability of funding for this program is from the Farmland Protection line of the New York State Environmental Protection Fund.
