About Us — NC Soil Health Coalition

Developing resources and building relationships among farmers in North Carolina who acknowledge the value of soil health.

OUR MISSION

To regenerate healthy soils in North Carolina through farmer-driven education and networking.

OUR HISTORY

The North Carolina Soil Health Coalition was established in 2022 by a group of farmers that sought to connect other farmers from across the state who acknowledge the value of soil health. We believe that learning to implement soil health practices is best accomplished by working with and learning from other farmers who have experienced similar challenges and successes.

The Soil Health Coalition is farmer-led, which means that it depends on the leadership and knowledge provided by each member to be successful. A wealth of first-hand knowledge exists among North Carolina’s farmers about how to practically implement soil health practices. We believe that the Coalition can bring together those farmers to make everyone more successful for the betterment of farms across the State.

OUR OBJECTIVES
