New Seasons Market, in partnership with Zero Foodprint’s Open Restore NW, offers a grant program aimed at funding regenerative agriculture projects in the Pacific Northwest. The program supports farmers, ranchers, and land stewards in implementing climate-beneficial farming practices such as cover cropping, compost application, and agroforestry. Through this initiative, New Seasons Market helps advance sustainable food systems by directly investing in soil health improvements and carbon sequestration efforts.
The grant application process involves several key steps. Interested applicants must meet eligibility criteria, including operating within the Pacific Northwest and demonstrating a commitment to regenerative agriculture. The application typically requires a detailed proposal outlining the proposed project, expected environmental benefits, and a budget plan. Zero Foodprint, alongside agricultural experts, evaluates submissions based on feasibility, impact potential, and alignment with the program’s goals before selecting recipients.
Once awarded, grantees receive funding to implement their projects and may also gain access to technical support and resources to ensure successful execution. Recipients are often required to provide progress reports and measurable outcomes to demonstrate the grant’s effectiveness. By funding these initiatives, New Seasons Market and Zero Foodprint Open Restore NW help drive systemic change in the food industry, fostering a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future.
