Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: Environmental markets can be leveraged by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help accomplish the agency’s mission of delivering conservation solutions so agricultural producers can protect natural resources and feed a growing world. This technical note has been developed to explain how environmental markets can help get more conservation on the ground. Environmental markets can be used as an economically efficient mechanism that helps identify the least-cost options for addressing some of our Nation’s most challenging environmental problems. These markets take the form of carbon markets, water quality markets, water quantity markets, and wildlife habitat markets.
