Produced in partnership with USDA, this guide provides research-based information to help organic farmers identify and implement soil health practices that reduce production, economic, and environmental risk. It addresses challenges such as weather extremes, nutrient limitations, weeds, pests, and long-term soil degradation, with a focus on building biologically active, organic-matter-rich soils. The guide also complements crop insurance resources to support informed decision-making in organic and transitioning systems.
