SCS (Soil Conservation Service)

The Soil Conservation Service (SCS), now part of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), was established in the United States to address soil erosion and promote sustainable land use. It provides technical assistance, research, and education to farmers, landowners, and communities. The SCS develops conservation practices to protect soil health, improve water quality, and enhance rural landscapes. By promoting methods such as contour plowing, reforestation, and crop rotation, the SCS aims to prevent soil degradation and ensure that land can be productive for future generations.
