Conservation Management Benefits Navigator (CMBN)
Description
Updating technical policy currently involves lengthy literature review that can take many months to complete. National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) struggles to update technical policy and make new technologies available to producers within a 5-year cycle. NRCS is often forced to use contracts for literature review completion due to lack of staff possessing expertise needed for completing the reviews.
