farm conservation programs

Farm conservation programs are initiatives that support farmers in protecting the environment while maintaining productive land. They encourage practices such as planting cover crops, preserving wetlands, reducing chemical use, and managing soil health to improve water quality, reduce erosion, and promote biodiversity. These programs often provide financial incentives, technical assistance, or cost-sharing to help farmers adopt sustainable methods. The goal is to balance farm productivity with environmental stewardship, ensuring that land remains healthy for future generations while still supporting farming livelihoods.
