(KLZA)--The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska has been awarded a $225-thousand grant from the Cedar Tree Foundation to use toward a Regenerative Agriculture project.
According to a release on Facebook, from the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska Council, the tribe has raised row crops, mainly corn and soybeans, utilizing traditional farming techniques for many years. While easy to manage and predict harvest results, the method requires heavy use of herbicides and pesticides for crop health, resulting in large ecosystem collapse of soil function and water quality.
The Tribe plans to reestablish techniques to regenerate the health of the soil while using adaptive multi-paddock ( AMP) grazing on tribal grass lands.
Through the program there is potential to restore the health of tribal lands and provide the ability to better cope with weather extremes through the building of biological and ecosystem resilience.
