Logan City Urban Agriculture Strategic Fund Pool

The overall goal of the SFP is to help urban agriculture producers provide more food independency for themselves and those within their community.

Project Description

The priority resource concern within the target area is plant productivity and health due to the increased demand for a fresh and healthy food source. The overall goal of the SFP is to assist urban agriculture producers with providing more food independency for themselves and those within their community. This will be accomplished through outreach and education, technical assistance, and implementation of conservation practices with 24-30 urban agricultural producers over a three-year NRCS contracting period.

When to Apply

Program applications are accepted on a continual basis. However, NRCS establishes application ranking dates for evaluation, ranking and approval of eligible applications. Applications received after the ranking date will be automatically deferred to the next funding period. 

Local Working Group Meetings

Every year, NRCS hosts Local Working Group meetings where farmers, landowners, conservation partners and other members of the community discuss the natural resource needs for the county. Based on feedback from those meetings, NRCS updates the county's Local Resources Assessment Priorities (LRAP) and develops new Conservation Implementation Strategies to address those resource concerns. You may contact us anytime to express concerns or comments about conservation needs in the county, and we encourage you to attend the next Local Working Group meeting in your county. For more information about Local Working Group meetings, contact your local NRCS office, or visit our Utah State Technical Committee page. 

 

Locally Led Conservation

At the Natural Resources Conservation Service of Utah, we understand effectively partnering with our local, county and state agencies and organizations is paramount to our mission of conserving our natural resources and helping people help the land. Utah’s diverse landscape and resource needs require strategic funding and focused efforts to support locally led conservation on the ground.
