The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). While not directly a space agency, NRCS partners with organizations like NASA to apply Earth observation data and technologies to natural resource management and conservation efforts. For example, NRCS leverages NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis-Ready Samples (AppEEARS) and collaborates on projects related to soil science, water management, and climate monitoring. The NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to farmers, ranchers, and other private landowners.
