About this opportunity

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Office of Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability (OARS) is accepting concept proposals for the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Programs (SWEEP) Block Grant. This proposal is for eligible organizations who wish to administer a community project, provide technical assistance to local farmers and ranchers within their service area, and support the implementation of on-farm SWEEP projects with financial assistance. On-farm SWEEP projects provide funding to producers in California to improve irrigation systems for the purposes of water conservation, energy use efficiency, and the reduction of greenhouse (GHG) emissions.
