Water Cooler Talk: Soil Health Practices for Clean Water

ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR

Protecting soil on agricultural lands is vital to both food production and environmental sustainability. Around the world, soils are eroding faster than they are forming, and conventional practices can accelerate this loss. Bare or highly disturbed soils are especially vulnerable to wind and water erosion, allowing nutrients and sediments to wash into nearby waterways. What happens on Pennsylvania farms directly affects the health of the Chesapeake Bay. With support from non-profits, conservation districts, technical assistance providers, and federal programs, farmers can adopt soil health practices that safeguard their land and local water resources. This webinar will examine these practices, exploring their benefits, challenges, and prevalence across Pennsylvania farms. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how agricultural stewardship upstream sustains water quality downstream.
