नोभेम्बर १२ मा, USDA को प्राकृतिक स्रोत संरक्षण सेवा (NRCS) ले संरक्षण भण्डारी कार्यक्रम (CSP) मा परिवर्तनहरूको घोषणा गर्यो, जसले किसान र पशुपालकहरूलाई उनीहरूको सञ्चालनमा निर्माण र संरक्षण बढाउने बहुमूल्य अवसर प्रदान गर्दछ।
२०१८ को कृषि विधेयकले CSP मा विभिन्न परिवर्तनहरू गर्यो, र यो नियम USDA ले तिनीहरूलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्ने प्रक्रिया हो। परिवर्तनहरूमा समावेश छन्:
- आवरण बाली अपनाउनको लागि भुक्तानी दर बढाउँदै।
- उन्नत चरन व्यवस्थापनको लागि नयाँ पूरक भुक्तानी प्रस्तुत गर्दै।
- व्यापक संरक्षण योजना विकास गर्न एक पटकको भुक्तानी सिर्जना गर्ने।
- माटोको स्वास्थ्यमा बढ्दो जोड।
CSP is the USDA’s leading working lands and land management program. Its goal is to reward conservation efforts. The program available in all 50 states and the Pacific and Caribbean areas. Farmers and ranchers can apply anytime through a local NRCS office. In 2020, the USDA’s NRCS is expected to make $750 million available for CSP enrollment.
Earlier this month, the Center for Rural Affairs submitted comments and recommendations on the new rule as part of the public comment period, which ended on Jan. 13.
“While we are concerned about how funding decreases will impact participation in CSP, we are glad to see several of the changes to the program, including new emphasis on soil health and advanced grazing management, expanded practices within bundles, and administrative flexibility to increase payments mid-contract,” the letter said.
The Center’s comments follow a few major themes to further improve CSP.
“We ask NRCS to restore balance to its consideration and weighting of existing conservation and new conservation in administering the program; to increase fairness and access for all producers; and to improve certain administrative aspects of the program,” the letter said.
