Can soil health boost farm profits while improving water and climate outcomes? Yes—and we’ve got the data to prove it. Join us to learn how real farmers are seeing economic, environmental, and climate benefits through practical soil health strategies.
Soil health has long been recognized for its positive environmental impacts—but what about the economic bottom line? This webinar explores new case studies that quantify the full benefits of soil health practices, including their effects on farm profitability, water quality, and climate resilience.
Led by Michelle Perez of American Farmland Trust and Florence Schwartz, former NRCS State Economist, the session highlights insights from eight farms—six cropping operations and two almond growers—that have implemented soil health systems with measurable results. Attendees will learn how these producers achieved cost savings, improved yields, and environmental benefits, and how these case studies can serve as educational tools for promoting broader adoption of conservation practices.
This webinar is ideal for NRCS staff, conservation professionals, and agricultural partners looking to engage farmers with data-backed stories that demonstrate the real-world impacts of soil health.
