The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on conserving natural resources and promoting healthy ecosystems across the nation's lands. They provide science-based soil information to help land managers effectively manage and conserve their soil, and offer voluntary programs and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and landowners to conserve the country's resources.
The NRCS also works closely with state offices and technical committees to address conservation needs and provide necessary resources in each state. They apply engineering tools and principles to plan and implement conservation practices, and offer financial assistance and compliance programs to support conservation efforts. Additionally, the NRCS provides specialized assistance for disaster recovery, underserved communities, nutrient management, organic agriculture, and urban farming.
