Introduced by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Ron Wyden (D-OR),  and Representative Andrea Salinas (D-OR-06), the Soil CARE Act would provide USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff and technical service providers (TSPs) with the latest education and tools to help producers in adopting conservation practices that build soil health, enhance resilience, and secure the future of U.S. food production.

 

Education and training are key to scaling the adoption of regenerative agriculture, and this bill direct the NRCS to start at the top.
