DAVIS, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) California State Office received approximately $2.7 million to fund 11 projects through the National Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program. CIG invests in innovative, on-the-ground conservation technologies and approaches, with the eventual goal of wide-scale adoption to address water quality and quantity, air quality, energy conservation, and environmental markets, among other natural resource issues.

"We are very pleased to have 11 CIG projects approved for funding in California and look forward to working with these partners to meet the goals they have established for their projects," said Ed Burton, NRCS State Conservationist for California. "These projects take a unique approach to putting conservation on the ground and support a diverse set of issues important to California's agricultural community."

NRCS administers CIG as part of the Agency's Environmental Quality Incentives Program. Grants are awarded to state and local governments, federally-recognized Indian tribes, non-governmental organizations and individuals.

California's approved CIG projects address natural resource issues such as water quality, food safety, and emerging conservation technologies. In addition, two projects take a unique approach to developing and protecting critical habitat for native pollinators - combating an ongoing decline in native pollinators.
