Natural Resources and Sustainable Agricultural Systems

Natural Resources and Sustainable Agricultural Systems National Programs support researchers developing the technologies and strategies needed to help farmers, ranchers, and other managers effectively steward the diverse agricultural mosaic spread across the nation. Emphasis is given to developing technologies that are economical to use and systems that support profitable production and enhance the Nation’s vast renewable natural resource base. Research priorities are identified through a continual dialogue with a wide range of customers and stakeholders to ensure that our science is relevant and provides effective solutions to their concerns. The program addresses issues affecting both private and public lands.
