Panel: Soil Health Three Ways – Chemical, Physical, and Biological

Join experts from NOFA and Farmland Trust as we discuss the complex issue of Soil Health. We will break down the various ways we study soil to get a complete picture of how well our soil functions as a vital, living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans.

Laura Davis will discuss the key takeaways from your chemical soil test, and the most important steps to take to rectify imbalances.

Caro Roszell will share insights into the physical dimensions of soil health. She will talk about surface crusting, compaction, soil structure, and how to assess how soil texture and land management impact these components.

Ruben Parrilla will offer us a view under the microscope to check out the biological life in our soil.

We will come together to answer questions on how these methods of testing can be incorporated into your soil management plan.
