The Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance (FACA) welcomes the launch of a new USDA workforce development initiative aimed at building the next generation of conservation delivery providers.
The Working Lands Climate Corps is a promising opportunity to provide on-the-ground education and training to develop the skillset needed to address natural resource challenges. Climate Corps fellows, working with state and local organizations, will gain the skills needed to provide conservation technical assistance to agricultural producers who are voluntarily making climate-smart investments on their operations.
FACA appreciates USDA’s commitment to building the next generation of boots on the ground, but we also acknowledge the immediate need for more capacity today.
