Explanation:

1. For the first scenario (Maria planting native grasses to prevent soil erosion and enhance wildlife habitat): The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a USDA initiative that encourages farmers to convert environmentally sensitive land to conservation uses, like planting native grasses to prevent erosion and improve wildlife habitat. So this matches with CRP.
2. For the second scenario (James, an amateur farmer with no commercial credit, able to buy seeds, equipment, and land): The Farm Service Agency (FSA) provides financial assistance, loans, etc., to farmers, including those with limited credit, to help them acquire agricultural inputs and land. So this matches with FSA.
3. For the third scenario (Hot, fresh, and nutritious meals served to Betty and others at school): The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a USDA program that provides nutritious lunches to school children. So this matches with NSLP.

Answer:

• Maria planted native grasses on her land to prevent soil erosion and enhance the wildlife habitat. → CRP
• Although James is an amateur farmer with no commercial credit, he was able to buy seeds, equipment, and land. → FSA
• Hot, fresh, and nutritious meals are served to Betty, her friends, and her siblings at school every day. → NSLP
