National Resources Inventory (NRI)

The National Resources Inventory (NRI) is a comprehensive survey conducted in the United States that assesses the condition and use of land resources, such as farmland, forests, and grasslands. It provides valuable data on land cover, crop and forest conditions, erosion levels, and land development trends. This information helps policymakers, farmers, environmentalists, and researchers understand changes in natural resources over time, supporting informed decision-making for sustainable land management and conservation efforts.
