Description
This program funds projects that reduce the negative impacts of agriculture on water quality in the Chesapeake Bay region. The focus is on collaborative conservation, supporting innovation, advocacy, and engagement with the agricultural sector to address challenges such as manure and fertilizer management, nutrient and sediment pollution, and the use of nitrogen and phosphorus.
