The NRCS applies sound engineering tools and principles to plan, design, and implement conservation practices and systems through delegated approval authority.
Engineering has played an essential part in meeting NRCS' mission objectives.
Environmental markets are an approach that can be used to help landowners get conservation on the ground. While NRCS has substantial funding to dedicate to private lands conservation, environmental markets complement NRCS’s work by bringing private and other non-Federal investments to private lands.
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) advance payment option limits out-of-pocket conservation costs for historically underserved producers.
EQIP helps farmers maintain or improve production while conserving natural resources on working landscapes.
