With spring on the horizon, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a number of funding opportunities for sustainable agriculture. This blog post outlines the funding guidelines, application deadlines, and program requirements for a range of food and farm system grants funded through USDA that are currently accepting applications.

The funding opportunities listed below are broken down into three categories:

• Research and Education
• Local Food (including urban and rural-focused programs) and Nutrition
• Climate, Conservation, and Energy
