NRCS Regenerative Pilot Program

This webinar will focus on the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program, a new conservation initiative aimed at helping farmers put their land back on a sustainable path forward. The discussion will highlight how the program is designed to support regenerative farming practices that rebuild soil health, strengthen farm resilience, and promote the production of healthier food. Webinar speakers will provide a general overview of the pilot program, including NRCS’s role in offering technical and financial assistance to producers, and discuss how the program fits within broader conservation and soil health goals. This presentation was originally broadcast on April 17, 2026.
