Supporting pollinators is critical to our food security and a key USDA conservation focus in collaboration with farmers, ranchers, and other land managers nationwide.
On June 20 at 2:00 p.m. eastern, the Natural Resources Conservation Service will host a Conservation Outcomes Webinar that shares findings on the value of pollinator practices applied through voluntary conservation programs including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Conservation Stewardship Program, and Conservation Reserve Program. This free, one-hour webinar will answer a suite of questions addressed in a recent study conducted by Virginia Tech in collaboration with USDA’s Conservation Effects Assessment Project, including on the effectiveness of these programs in supporting pollinators and strategies to increase benefits.
