This webinar is part of American Farmland Trust’s Soil Health Stewards Virtual Training held for entities in Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on September 8, 9, & 10, 2021. The purpose of this session is to introduce the meaning and broad benefits of “soil health,” and to explore how soil health relates to regenerative agriculture, climate resiliency, and other environmental benefits. Also reviewed are the four soil health management systems principles, what conservation practices improve soil health, and what some of the barriers to adoption are that farmers face.
