Enriching Soil, Enhancing Life

Enriching soil enhances life from the microscopic scale to the global scale. Adopting soil health systems can increase microbial diversity, improve farmer livelihood, increase agricultural productivity, and build climate resilience. As a result, downstream communities receive cleaner water, ecosystem health is restored, rural landscapes are sustained, and climate change is held in check for future generations.

Our Strategy

Soil Health is the Foundation for Regenerative Agriculture

Across North America and around the globe, the Soil Health Institute is advancing the science of soil health. Our work is focused on strategic goals to scale adoption of soil health management systems - the foundation for regenerative agriculture. Discover more about our initiatives.
