Environment

America’s prosperity is inseparably linked to the health of our environment. A healthy environment is an essential component of the quality of life of humans and all living organisms.  It is vital to maintaining thriving, sustainable farms and rural communities. NIFA supports projects that focus on protecting natural resources, adapting to a changing climate, and advancing energy independence for the United States.
