5th Annual Soil and Nutrition Conference

Many of us readily accept this oft-repeated statement, but if we unravel it, how much is actually known about the interrelationships and dependencies between soil health, crop health and human health?

The 5th Annual 2016 Soil & Nutrition Conference will gather farmers, researchers, nutritionists and food system advocates for a multidisciplinary conversation exploring the potential to improve food quality through regenerative agriculture that builds soil, crop and ecosystem health. We will explore how soil health and crop quality are interrelated, and how a renewed focus on the food qualities that industrial agriculture forgot – flavor and nutrition – can help drive transformation with important societal benefits.

There are 10 plenary sessions and 16 workshops, over two jam-packed days of February 8 & 9, 2016, with a pre-conference on February 7, 2016.

Highlights at the 2016 Soil & Nutrition Conference include:

• Farmer as Healer: High Quality Food as a Game Changer in Healthcare
  • Mid-Season “Corrections”: A Guide to Foliar Spraying
