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.
