Recovering the promise of CSP

摘要

In partnership with Environmental Defense and with help from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, SWCS is assessing the performance of four major USDA conservation programs: the Conservation Security Program (CSP), the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and the programs used to provide technical assistance for farm bill programs. Our goal is to help the conservation community better understand how these programs are working and to provide recommendations for how they may be improved. The first assessment we completed is of CSP.
