AGRICULTURE
Healthy soils, healthy farms
Building soil health
Healthy soils produce nutrient-dense crops and support long-term productivity.
Soils rich in organic matter and deep-rooted plants hold more moisture, reducing erosion and keeping fields resilient during dry spells. Acting like a sponge, these soils filter and absorb nutrients and contaminants before they can reach our lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
When soils thrive, everyone benefits—farmers, communities, and the environment.
Soil exhaustion and the loss of diverse soil organisms are common challenges in agriculture. That’s why we promote practices that restore soil health and biodiversity.
Through no-till farming, rotational grazing, and other soil-friendly methods, farmers can rebuild organic matter, improve soil structure, and strengthen natural biological systems.
The goal: robust soils, productive farms, and cleaner water for future generations.
