In this session, growers and researchers will share insights on organic practices that improve soil health and build on-farm resilience. They will delve into benefits of cover cropping, diversified crop rotations, compost applications and reduced tillage systems. Attendees will learn about resources available to those interested in improving soil health and implementing new practices.
