Soil Health Initiative

The Soil Health Initiative is a program aimed at improving the quality and vitality of soil, recognizing its crucial role in agriculture, ecosystems, and climate. Healthy soil enhances plant growth, supports biodiversity, and helps store carbon, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative promotes practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and organic amendments, encouraging farmers to adopt methods that restore and maintain soil health. By focusing on soil quality, the initiative seeks to ensure sustainable food production and environmental protection for future generations.
