The Boulder County Soil Health Initiative provides grants to local agricultural producers who operate on leased Boulder County Parks & Open Space (BCPOS) land, private land, or both. This initiative aims to improve soil health, promote a local and resilient food system, and empower the agricultural community to both adapt to climate change and contribute to climate solutions.
The Soil Health Initiative is new as of 2024, and will exist alongside an updated version of the existing Sustainable Food and Agriculture Fund that focuses on education, market infrastructure, processing, and support for frontline farm workers.
This program is possible thanks to partnerships with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, Colorado State University Extension, OpenTEAM, Zero Foodprint, and Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment.
