National Resource Conservation Service

The National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Agriculture. Its primary mission is to protect and improve natural resources, such as soil, water, and ecosystems, mainly through conservation practices. NRCS provides technical assistance, funding, and resources to farmers, landowners, and communities to promote sustainable land use and agriculture. By addressing issues like soil erosion, water quality, and habitat preservation, the NRCS helps ensure that natural resources are available for future generations while supporting agricultural productivity and environmental health.
