The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a federal initiative in the United States designed to improve environmental health by converting agricultural land into natural habitats. Farmers and landowners voluntarily enroll their land in the program, receiving financial incentives to establish native vegetation, such as grasses and trees, which help reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife habitats. Administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the CRP aims to promote sustainable land use practices. Participants typically sign contracts for 10 to 15 years, during which they commit to maintaining the conservation practices on their enrolled land, contributing to long-term ecological benefits.
