The term RC&D refers to the USDA's Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program. RC&D was created by a provision of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962. The RC&D Program is based on the assumption that local citizens can develop and carry out an action-oriented plan for the social, economic and environmental enrichment of their communities. Congress provides about $60 million annually to USDA to assist the RC&D program. In turn, USDA provides assistance as needed to help facilitate the local Council's goals and objectives. Although most of the USDA agencies assist in the RC&D Program, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service has the responsibility for administration of the program.
