Building Healthy Soils and a More Resilient Food System
Vision
To create a future where healthy soil is the foundation for a resilient agricultural industry, a sustainable environment, and healthy people in Washington. We support programs that focus on long-term agricultural research, develop and support soil health markets, provide technical support, and facilitate incentive programs.
Mission
The mission of the Washington Soil Health Initiative is to promote collaborative research, education, and technical assistance activities that identify, promote, and implement sound soil health stewardship practices. These practices should be economically viable and voluntary for farmers and ranchers across the diverse agricultural communities, climates, and geographies in Washington. We aim to achieve this through demonstration projects and engaging in rigorous long term soil health research. Our ultimate goal is to improve the health of the soil in Washington, creating a more sustainable and resilient agricultural industry that benefits both the environment and the people of our state.
