The Soil Health Partnership is a farmer-led initiative that fosters transformation in agriculture through improved soil health, benefiting both farmer profitability and the environment.
Break-out sessions covered federal policy and regulation, tillage methods, nutrient management, and the future of ag technologies. “The Soil Health Partnership’s strength has its roots in our committed and supportive partners—especially the farmers and agronomists who play an important role in our ability to support research-based practices,” said Dr. Shefali Mehta, Executive Director of the Soil Health Partnership.
The 2019 “Seeds of Change” awards honored those who go above and beyond to advocate for the partnership and for soil health.
