A Matter of Balance: Conservation Agriculture in Uncertain Times (Bringing Conservation Science to Practice)

Modern crop and livestock systems are complex, and the management of these systems requires continuous adaptation and change in practices and strategies. Conservation Science brings the practices and strategies to the farm, but implementation depends on the agricultural producer. Climate change and market fluctuations both impact the producer’s ability to implement practices. Conservation Science can develop the practices, but only Conservation Producers can implement them. Conservation Technical Assistance Professionals, whether Private, Conservation District, State or Federal, are the bridge between Science and Practice.  SWCS connects Conservation Professionals and Partners.
