Project Attributes
Census Tract Income
True
Direct Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs)
This farm is located in a low-income community and the Carbon Farm Plan directly benefits the landowners. The farm also sells produce at local farmers markets that accept EBT as well as a "market match" program, and serves low income communities.
EnviroScreen
None
Free and Reduced Lunch
False
Indirect Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs)
The CFP identified many practices that will improve water holding capacity, infiltration and climate resilience. This will help mitigate the effects of drought, flooding and other climatic events. Climate resilience will improve the chances that food will remain available with unprecedented climatic change on the horizon.
