The initiative will accelerate environmental sustainability and increase productivity for farmers who operate in the Mississippi watershed. A two-year initiative led by Corteva Agriscience and The Nature Conservancy helps farmers for sustainable food production and water-quality conservation practices.

Farmers in Mississippi will learn on-farm conservation practices to help them earn more while boosting the sustainability. Furthermore, the farmers will have access to cost-share programs that provide nutrient management techniques, and soil health management.

Farmers are the lifeblood of our food system, and we're committed to empowering them with the tools and resources they need to grow food sustainably while safeguarding our water systems, said Stewart Lindsay, Head of Corporate Engagement, Agriculture & Food, The Nature Conservancy. Corteva Agriscience's generous support will help advance our soil health and nutrient management goals in the Mississippi River basin for the benefit of farmers, communities and the natural resources we all depend on.
