Recorded Webinar: The Story of Soil Carbon

What you'll learn

• Do not disturb the soil too much. Soil is made up of inorganic items (rocks) as well as a living components (bacteria, insects, etc.). If you’re disturbing it constantly, the living components have a harder time staying intact.
• Maximize crop diversity. It creates resilience in the system. Any given species of plant has its strengths and weaknesses. Having divested crops helps crops grow all the time and helps prevent pests.
• Keep the soil covered. This is to prevent erosion. If the soil is bare then water and wind can move the soil off the area it should be.
• Maintain living roots year-round. It helps hold the soil in place. It keeps the soil alive and the system healthy.
• Integrate livestock. In the natural ecosystem, you would have animals on the landscape and their excrements would be included in the soil again. It helps break down into the soil to make it healthier.
