New technologies and innovative practices that promise to improve food systems’ resilience at their very roots the soil are emerging.
These promising approaches are coming at a time when there is a growing commitment among producers, scientists, food companies, and policymakers to cultivate healthier soil.
The National Center for Appropriate Technology’s (NCAT) Soil Health Innovations Conference will allow attendees to immerse themselves in the soil-health movement and connect with its most forward-thinking practitioners all from the comfort of wherever it is that they’re most comfortable these days.
The virtual conference which was postponed in 2020 because of concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic will bring together leading experts and innovative farmers from around the U.S. to share the latest in soil science, best practices in soil management, and the emerging technologies that will drive the future of sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
Why are companies becoming so interested in soil health?
Do data support that consumers are demanding regenerative practices? Are they willing to pay more for them?
Will soil health and regenerative agriculture practices be mandatory in the future?
Will growers see any financial reimbursements or incentives?
The Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton Farmer Showcase is part of the
Healthy Soils for Sustainable Cotton project, which provides farmer-focused education and training events delivered by Soil Health Institute scientists, partnering with local soil health technical specialists and farmer mentors who have implemented successful soil health management systems. The project aims to increase the adoption of soil health management systems among cotton producers while documenting environmental and economic benefits.
