Environmental Quality Incentives Program

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a federal initiative in the United States that provides financial and technical assistance to farmers and landowners. Its goal is to encourage practices that improve environmental health, such as reducing soil erosion, protecting water quality, and enhancing wildlife habitat. Participants can receive funding to implement efficient farming methods and conservation measures that promote sustainable agriculture. By supporting these practices, EQIP aims to balance agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship, benefiting both farming communities and the ecosystem.
