关于我们
Accelerating Appalachia is about regenerating and conserving Central/Southern Appalachia and the rural Southeast through our commitment to supporting resilient regional production and manufacturing in food, fiber and forest products. We’ve launched an innovative program to build soil health and expand conservation farming across Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Southern Ohio, and Northern Georgia with our USDA Climate Smart Commodities grant-funded Building Soil, Building Equity program. Through our Farmer Fund, we provide $12 million in cash incentives and $6 million in training and marketing services, we will be able to incentivize over 400 producers with direct incentives up to $1,000/acre for adopting conservation farming and forestry practices. As a BSBE farmer participant you will receive training in conservation farming, soil testing services, mentorship, peer support, and national, regional, and local media promotions.

#ThrowbackThursday to our team's viewing of "World Without Cows" (pictured here with one of the film's directors, Brandon Whitworth). This documentary explores the multifaceted impact of cows on our world, from climate to economics. We were thrilled to hear regenerative agriculture highlighted as a solution to some of our biggest environmental challenges.

We're proud to support farms like Kaluna Farm Retreat in our Building Soil, Building Equity initiative! This Oct. 26th, they're hosting a Fall Harvest Dinner with multiple courses featuring produce and products from their farm. Show your support by purchasing a ticket today: https://lnkd.in/gPFb8xdd Farmer Meghan Cole-Jones shares, "Working with the Building Soil, Building Equity program has allowed us to expand the scope of our soil enhancement practices, which will ultimately increase the resiliency of our farm operation. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to improve existing infrastructure and implement new systems that were made possible, partly due to grant funding from the USDA's Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities and Accelerating Appalachia." #farmtotable #soilhealth #regenerativeagriculture

Cover crops are the unsung heroes of crops! They go about their business quietly: protecting soil from erosion, adding nutrients, and increasing soil quality in order to support the stars of the show - the crops that end up on our plates. Fall is a prime time for cover crops, and as we wrap up our focus on crops, we're giving them some love. Whether you farm--at any scale--or garden, cover crops can be part of your operation. Learn more from NCAT Agriculture Specialist Lee Rinehart's reflection on the potential for cover crops to heal damaged soil: https://buff.ly/4efxV1z

Are you familiar with the benefits of soil testing? Key advantages include nutrient management, improved crop yields, and pest and disease prevention. To support our BSBE participants, we incentivize them to take two soil samples annually. Watch this video from our technical assistance partner, the National Center for Appropriate Technology, to learn about the different soil tests available to farmers. https://lnkd.in/grEJFrtq #soilhealth #soiltesting
