Join us for a hands-on Organic Soil Health Field School focused on practical soil health strategies for organic farming systems. This train-the-trainer workshop is designed for Extension agents, farmers, educators, agency partners, and agricultural stakeholders working with row crops, small-scale vegetables, and specialty crops.

From a local collaboration among NCA&T, NC State, NCDA, NRCS and other local partners, participants will learn about organic soil health practices, crop production, soil biology, soil carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, amendments, precision agriculture tools, sensors, rainfall simulator demonstrations, and NRCS conservation resources. The workshop will provide practical, field-based knowledge that participants can use on farms and share with producers and communities. Participants will also get a chance to learn from graduate students on their latest research on these topic areas.

This event is being sponsored by Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE). NC cooperative extension agents and other trainers may qualify for free registration. Please apply here BEFORE you register. If you are qualified, SARE will reach out to you in a few days with a comp code to come back and register for free.
