Conservation
Conserving our natural resources is a vital part of creating and maintaining healthy ecosystems on our nation’s lands.
USDA recognizes that conservation by farmers, ranchers and forest owners today means thriving and sustainable agriculture for our future.
Seventy percent of the nation's land is privately owned and conservation of our nation's private lands not only results in healthy soil, water, air, plants, animals and ecosystems, it also provides productive and sustainable working lands.
