Including Tribal Priorities in Federal Agricultural Conservation Programs.
This law amends the Food Security Act to explicitly include the priorities and needs of Indian Tribes in major federal conservation initiatives like EQIP and CSP. This change ensures that tribal governments and landowners on tribal lands have greater influence over resource allocation. It facilitates easier access to financial and technical support for environmental protection efforts specific to their areas.
Key points
Indian Tribes are formally included in defining priority resource concerns for key federal agricultural and environmental programs.
Landowners on tribal lands gain improved access to funding and technical assistance for conservation stewardship and environmental quality projects.
