The Climate Smart Agriculture Grant Programs (CSAP) provide Massachusetts farms with an integrated application process for seeking capital improvements that advance climate resilience, environmental stewardship, food safety, energy efficiency, and composting. Through a single application, eligible agricultural operations can request support across multiple targeted program areas, streamlining access to funding and helping farms implement projects that improve operations while contributing to broader climate and environmental goals.
