Agricultural Digitalization: Transforming Farming with Technology
New Extensionist Learning KitSoil Health
Soil health is the foundation of sustainable agriculture, focusing on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil that contribute to its productivity. Healthy soils can better retain water, support plant growth, and resist erosion. This area emphasizes practices such as cover cropping, crop rotation, reduced tillage, and organic amendments to improve soil structure, fertility, and microbial activity. Enhancing soil health ensures higher yields, better nutrient cycling, and long-term agricultural sustainability.
