Healthy soils are key to clean environments and nutrient dense food production. As such, healthy soils play key roles in the profitability of any farm, and the health and prosperity of any society.  

In this course, I will introduce basic principles about how soils work to clean the air and water around us, and to produce nutritious food. 

You will be shown the 5 key components of soil, and how each component influences overall soil health. 

You will learn how to assess soil texture, improve soil structure, and manage soil minerals, organic matter, and microbiology to ensure that soil quality and crop nutrition improve.
