The Expanding Agroforestry Project, a partnership effort funded by the USDA’s Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities initiative, is launching its second producer application cycle, inviting
eligible producers to apply to the Expanding Agroforestry Incentive Payment Program beginning December 16th, 2024.

The Expanding Agroforestry Project aims to help producers boost profitability, sequester more carbon, improve water quality, and enhance biodiversity through agroforestry. Eligible producers can apply to receive direct incentive payments to expand agroforestry plantings on their agricultural lands. Over five years, $36M will be paid out to producers to transform 30,000 acres spanning 30 states into agroforestry systems.

The Expanding Agroforestry Project (EAP) invites you to a Town Hall Meeting on December 9th , 2024. Topics to be covered include an overview of the EAP Incentive Payment Program, latest
updates, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance at: https://tinyurl.com/EAPTownHallQuestions.
