The University of Idaho (U of I) invites applications from organizations interested in supporting Idaho farmers and ranchers to adopt climate-smart, regenerative agricultural practices through the Innovative Agricultural and Marketing Partnership for Idaho (IAMP). Funded by a $59 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA, Award NR233A750004G038), IAMP currently works with four Implementing Partners: The Nature Conservancy in Idaho, the Nez Perce Tribe, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, and Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef. To strengthen and expand these efforts, IAMP seeks additional organizations, referred to as “Administrative Partners,” to collaborate in recruiting producers of potatoes, wheat, sugar beets, chickpeas, hops, barley, or beef across Idaho. Administrative Partners will assist producers in applying for and receiving incentive-based contracts from U of I to implement climate-smart practices, and most will support them in successfully fulfilling their contractual obligations. Funding for Administrative Partners will be provided through subawards issued by U of I under the primary USDA award.
