National Soil Information System

The National Soil Information System (NSIS) is a comprehensive framework that collects, organizes, and shares information about soil in the United States. It aims to improve our understanding of soil properties, health, and distribution, which are crucial for agriculture, conservation, and land management. By providing access to soil data, the NSIS supports decision-making for farmers, researchers, and policymakers, helping them to maintain soil sustainability and productivity. This system is vital for addressing issues like climate change, food security, and environmental protection.
