Water Quality: Soil pollution can leach into water sources, contaminating drinking water and other water supplies.
Climate Change: Soil pollution can contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and reducing the soil's ability to sequester carbon.
Economic Costs: Soil pollution can result in economic losses for farmers, as well as the costs of cleanup and remediation efforts.

Get Your Hands Dirty: Quick Tips and Tricks

Add organic matter

Adding organic matter, such as compost or manure, to your soil is a simple and effective way to improve soil health. Organic matter provides essential nutrients, improves soil structure, and helps retain moisture, leading to healthier and more productive plants.

Rotate your crops

Crop rotation can help prevent soil-borne diseases, improve soil structure, and reduce nutrient depletion. Rotate your crops each year to promote healthier soil and better yields.

Use cover crops

Cover crops, such as clover or rye, can improve soil health by protecting the soil from erosion, suppressing weeds, and adding organic matter. Plant cover crops during the off-season to help improve soil health and prepare for the next growing season.
