standards for conservation practices

Conservation practices are guidelines designed to manage land, water, and natural resources sustainably. They aim to protect soil from erosion, improve water quality, preserve habitat for wildlife, and ensure resources are available for future generations. These standards include techniques like planting cover crops, rotating crops, building barriers to prevent runoff, maintaining natural vegetation, and managing water use responsibly. By following these practices, landowners and managers help reduce environmental impact, maintain productivity, and support diverse ecosystems, balancing human needs with the health of the planet.
