Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D)
The purpose of the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) program is
to accelerate the conservation, development and utilization of natural
resources, improve the general level of economic activity, and to enhance
the environment and standard of living in designated RC&D areas. It improves
the capability of State, tribal and local units of government and local
nonprofit organizations in rural areas to plan, develop and carry out
programs for resource conservation and development. The program also
establishes or improves coordination systems in rural areas.
Current program objectives focus on improvement of quality of life
achieved through natural resources conservation and community development
which leads to sustainable communities, prudent use (development), and the
management and conservation of natural resources. RC&D areas are locally
sponsored areas designated by the Secretary of Agriculture for RC&D
technical and financial assistance program funds.
The mission of the RC&D program is to make available the total resources
of USDA and other public and private partnerships to build relationships,
create financial leverage, and increase the ability of communities to meet
their regionally identified resource conservation and development needs.
