The Soil Conservation And Regeneration Education Act of 2026, or the Soil CARE Act, requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish and maintain a comprehensive training program for Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) personnel and third-party providers . This program, to be launched within one year, will focus on rapidly evolving methodologies, science, and practices of soil health management systems, aiming to empower these experts to assist agricultural producers in implementing regenerative farming practices that improve farmland. The training program will feature both a nationally available online curriculum and in-person workshops , offered twice every two years in each Service region. These resources will be developed and delivered through cooperative agreements with various entities possessing expertise in soil health, including farming consultants, nonprofit organizations, conservation districts, and land-grant universities. The extensive curriculum covers principles of soil health, transition to regenerative agriculture, organic production, diversified farming systems, and soil biology research, also addressing needs of Indian Tribes and underserved producers. This curriculum, along with all materials, must be updated every two years to reflect the latest innovations and scientific advancements. The bill encourages participation from relevant NRCS personnel and third-party providers, requiring continuing education and the provision of soil health education materials to producers. An appropriation of $10,000,000 is authorized for fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to carry out this initiative.
