Soil health is the foundation for productive agroecosystems and healthy communities. However, soil health is not always well understood, especially for the diversity of soils and cropping systems in the tropics. Empowering extension faculty to help farmers improve soil health and productivity requires information, support, and recommendations. CTAHR’s Soil Health Team, led by Drs. Crow and Deenik, will host 3 virtual Zoom sessions in a Soil Health webinar series tailored to Hawaiʻi extension needs. Register for these webinars through eventbrite by clicking on the links below.
