Mission, Vision, and Values

The Soil Health Institute is a global non-profit with a mission of safeguarding and enhancing the vitality and productivity of soils through scientific research and advancement. The Institute brings together leaders in soil health science and the industry to conduct research and empower farmers and other landowners with the knowledge to successfully adopt regenerative soil health systems that contribute economic and environmental benefits to agriculture and society.

Our Vision is a world where farmers and ranchers grow quality food, fiber, and fuel using soil health systems that sustain farms and rural landscapes, promote a stable climate and clean environment, and improve human health and well-being.

The Soil Health Institute was established to serve as an umbrella for all individuals and organizations who desire to improve soil health by working together for the common good. We typically focus on how this work will benefit our environment, our farms and rural communities; but at its core is a commitment to people – a commitment to current and future generations so they will have clean water, a stable climate, and plentiful and nutritious food. Humanity. Looking out for one another. Treating each other equally, with courtesy and respect. Serving up honesty and demonstrating integrity not just when they are easy, but particularly when they are hard. This includes calling out affronts to our core values – affronts like racial injustice and discrimination on any basis. As stewards of your Soil Health Institute, we are committed to equality, honesty, integrity, diversity, courtesy, and respect for all.
