The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has updated the strategic priorities, motto and mission and vision statements for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). These updates complement NRCS’s historic role in providing practical, voluntary and locally led conservation solutions for producers. The new NRCS motto and mission and vision statements are:
Motto: Keeping Working Lands in Working Hands.
Mission Statement: We deliver conservation solutions that help producers conserve natural resources, strengthen agricultural production and keep working lands productive for generations to come.
Vision Statement: An America where working lands remain productive, resilient and in the hands of those who are stewards of them.
NRCS is also updating its strategic priorities to guide agency operations, program delivery, stakeholder engagement and modernization efforts through Fiscal Year 2026 and beyond. NRCS’s seven priorities include:
- Preserve and protect agricultural land
- Shift to outcome-based conservation and farmer empowerment
- Re-center field engagement and strengthen technical expertise
- Expand wildlife conservation and outdoor access
- Strengthen partnerships by streamlining processes and accountability
- Optimize mission delivery by strengthening workforce culture; and
- Modernize agency infrastructure and technology.
