Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) - On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials is sponsored by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). This national competition supports widespread adoption and evaluation of innovative conservation approaches in partnership with agricultural producers. On-Farm Trials Awardees provide technical assistance and incentive payments to producers to help compensate for risks associated with implementation of new conservation practices, systems and approaches. Soil health demonstration trials are a priority within this competition.

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) - On-Farm Trials is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). CIGs support the development and testing of promising new conservation technologies and approaches with the goal of making them available for use as quickly as possible by farmers and ranchers. This includes funding projects that develop and improve access to innovative conservation solutions for farmers and ranchers nationwide through on-farm pilots and demonstration projects, with a priority on soil health.

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials (On-Farm Trials) is sponsored by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). On-Farm Trials awardees provide technical assistance and incentive payments to producers to help compensate for risks associated with the implementation of new conservation practices, systems, and approaches. Awardees also evaluate the environmental, financial, and social impacts of implementing innovative approaches. The Soil Health Demo Trial is a priority within the On-Farm Trials competition, which focuses exclusively on the implementation of conservation practices and systems that improve soil health. While not explicitly 'remote sensing commercial,' it funds innovative approaches that could include remote sensing for agricultural monitoring.

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) – On-Farm Trials is a grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) that funds agricultural producers, including Historically Underserved producers, to conduct on-farm trials testing innovative conservation practices and technologies. The program encourages farmers and ranchers to pilot approaches that address natural resource concerns such as soil health, water quality, invasive species, and other conservation challenges. Historically Underserved producers receive special consideration and benefits during the application process. Funding amounts vary by Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), with applications accepted through state NRCS offices.

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). CIG funds innovative conservation projects. Priorities include water management (quality and quantity), soil health, habitat improvement, and conserving ecosystems by managing pest pressure. There are two tracks: on-farm trials for conservation implementation and CIG Classic.
