Indiana University signs Cooperative Agreement with Farm Service Agency to research CRP-TIP
In 2023, the Farm Service Agency engaged in a cooperative agreement with Indiana University researchers, for researchers to build a clearer national understanding of the Transition Incentives Program’s social and agro-ecological effects on the ground, and opportunities to dissolve barriers to participation for underserved farmers and farmers interested in ecologically sustainable farming practices. This research began in 2024.
