"Healthy soil helps the land adapt to changing conditions. 🌧️ By improving water infiltration, strengthening plant growth, and supporting soil structure, well-managed soil helps reduce the impacts of drought, flooding, and other extreme weather events. Stewardship practices that protect soil today help build more resilient landscapes for the future.

"Soil is a living system that keeps our ecosystems thriving. 🌱 Through natural biological processes, it cycles essential nutrients that plants need to grow while storing carbon that supports long-term soil health and productivity. These vital functions help maintain balanced ecosystems and sustain agriculture across Texas. Simply put, healthy soil biology is the foundation of productive, resilient landscapes.

Healthy soil plays a critical role in protecting our water resources. 💧Soil absorbs rainfall and irrigation, reducing runoff and erosion while helping filter pollutants before they reach streams, rivers, and lakes. It also helps recharge aquifers that supply water for communities, agriculture, and wildlife. Good soil stewardship helps ensure clean and reliable water for Texans today and in the future.

Soil does more than sit beneath our feet; it powers Texas agriculture! 🌱 By anchoring roots and supplying nutrients, healthy soil helps produce the food and fiber that sustain everything we grow and help feed and clothe millions across the country.

In fact, U.S. farmers and ranchers produce enough to feed more than 330 million Americans and hundreds of millions worldwide, all starting with healthy soil.

From the deserts of West Texas to the forests of East Texas, from rolling rangelands to productive croplands, every region relies on the soil beneath it. Each soil type plays an important role in supporting agriculture, wildlife, and natural ecosystems. Because no matter the landscape, soil is where it all begins.

One of the many things NRCS does to help people help the land is what’s called “EWP Buyouts.” The Emergency Watershed Protection program helps local governments purchase flood-prone homes after natural disasters through voluntary buyouts. This protects lives and property for the future.
