This webinar was presented in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) – Science and Technology National Technology Support Centers.

USDA organic regulations broadly require operations to “maintain or improve the natural resources of the operation, including soil and water quality.” Given the wide scope of this language, the USDA National Organic Program has released new guidance concerning Natural Resources and Biodiversity Conservation. The guidance provides examples of practices that support these conservation principles and demonstrate compliance with USDA organic regulations. This webinar discusses the guidance and opportunities for USDA NRCS to support producers as they implement these conservation practices.
