The Climate Smart Switchgrass Cropping System is a partnership between FDC Enterprises, Inc., the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and innovative skilled businesses including Starktech.
The project goals are to provide Virginia producers an alternative income opportunity by integrating native plant biomass on their property while also providing vital natural resource solutions to southern Virginia.
To paraphrase the NRCS, our aim is to “help Virginia’s farmers … conserve the nation’s soil, water, air and other natural resources. All programs are voluntary and offer science-based solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment.”
Project Objectives
The Climate Smart Switchgrass Cropping System has a few key objectives. We share these to help our partners and farmers understand the mission and plan.
