From plant diversity, to livestock integration and reduced soil disturbance, there are many tools we can use to improve soil health and the nutrition of our food. To employ these methods, it requires resources, investment, value-added pricing and deep partnerships with the individuals managing and caring for the land, their communities, and the future of food. |
