ASA in Action

Home / ASA In Action

At CRS, the vision of our global strategy focuses on supporting communities with resilient agricultural livelihoods that sustain and restore the landscapes upon which they depend. Which is why we’ve crafted programs designed to work with agricultural communities so that they can make the best possible use of their land and water.

Through our programs, we’ve demonstrated that agricultural practices that manage soil and water well achieve significant changes for the better. We’ve seen first-hand how ASA revitalizes agricultural production, creates resilience to drought, and restores soil and water resources in critical ecosystems.
