Abt delivers streamlined technology systems that enable NRCS to provide timely conservation funding and support when farmers need it most.

Abt partners with federal agencies and others to build food security solutions for healthy communities while making food systems more resilient through sustainable agriculture. For decades, our studies have informed national policy decisions and legislation to prevent and mitigate food insecurity and promote nutrition—especially for children and families.
