A Focus on Sustainable Agriculture

slide-34

NRCS Emphasizes

  • Science-based

technical assistance

  • Partnerships
  • Voluntary, incentive-

based programs

  • Cooperative problem

solving at the local level

Supporting Small Farmers

  • USDA is not the department of

big agriculture.

  • Whether you’re farming in an

urban or rural setting, the conservation principles are the same.

  • Today, we’re seeing more small

acreage operations focused on high intensity, high value crops.
