Welcome to the Soil Health Connection! The Soil Health Connection connects YOU with experts in the fields of soil health and agronomy. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, soil health consists of five principles: soil armor, minimal soil disturbance, plant diversity, continual live plants/roots, and livestock integration. But how is soil health translated into land management practices and policy across California?
Liz Harper, Executive Director of Colusa Resource Conservation District, and Sarah Light, Agronomy Advisor with University of California Cooperative Extension in Sutter, Yuba and Colusa counties, interview individuals who are actively involved in improving soil health in the California Sacramento Valley. Interviewees include farmers, scientists, policy advocates, and farm advisors.
We hope you find an interesting episode that sparks your interest in soil health or continues your journey into the exciting world of sustainable soil management.
