Summary

The Farm Sustainability Rewards Project (FSR) is a two-year project led by WGF in partnership with Clean Wisconsin to design and assess the feasibility of a voluntary model for farm conservation that rewards farmers who meet increasingly robust tiers of environmental performance while improving their whole-farm and farm product sustainability.  The Farm Sustainability Rewards project is supported with funding from the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
