Soil is a living and life-giving force.

​

As world population and food production demands rise, keeping our soil healthy and productive is critical. We must ensure that our soil resources are stable and sustainable to feed future generations.

​

4 The Soil is an initiative of the Virginia Soil Health Coalition and Virginia Cooperative Extension to raise general awareness of soil as a critical resource. We all have a role to play in taking care of our soil. By caring for the soil, we can build healthier communities, stronger economies, and a more resilient landscape.
