No 417313, TSC Technical Notes from United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service

Abstract: This technical note is designed to help conservation planners apply the Conservation Practice Standard (CPS) Organic Management (Code I823) and other NRCS conservation activities in the conservation planning process. Information provided here will help conservation planners and service providers understand organic agriculture principles and the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations and how they relate to the conservation of soil, water, air, plant, animal, energy, and human resources. Organic conservation strategies and practices that are not covered by current conservation practice standards are explored in depth.
