The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) aims to protect farmland and reduce soil erosion by converting highly erodible land into natural habitats.

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a U.S. government initiative aimed at protecting environmentally sensitive farmland. It provides financial incentives to landowners who agree to transform their highly erodible or vulnerable land into native grasslands, wetlands, or forests. This program helps to reduce soil erosion, enhance water quality, and increase wildlife habitats. Additionally, CRP lands store carbon, which aids in combating climate change. By removing these areas from active farming, the CRP encourages long-term ecological health and offers farmers income support, promoting environmental sustainability and diversifying farm income.
