Description

Use printed resource tool to identify agricultural conservation practices that reduce climate risks and attend resource concerns related to soil health, water availability, plant health, livestock, fish & wildlife, and energy. The Agricultural Conservation Practices for Climate Risk Reduction resource lists agricultural conservation practices that help mitigation risks associated with climated change projections in the US Caribbean region. Each practice includes the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) practice number. Detailed information about each practice can be found by performing a simple internet search with the practice number and title (eg: 327 Conservation Cover NRCS). Users can click on "Conservation Practice Standard Overview" on the resulting NRCS page for detailed information on the NRCS conservation practice. This resource was created by the USDA Caribbean Climate Hub in collaboration with NRCS Caribbean Area.
