The State of Soil Health<\/a><\/strong> is an initiative to measure soil health and soil carbon on farms across the state of Vermont.

The project has<\/strong> five primary objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Establish a baseline of soil health indicators, carbon stocks, and associated ecosystem services in Vermont\u2019s agricultural landscapes<\/li>
  2. Create soil health soil sampling standards across management types<\/li>
  3. Provide farmers with contextualized information about soil health on their participating fields<\/li>
  4. Support collaboration among the many organizations that work with farmers towards shared goals around soil health<\/li>
  5. Build skills and capacity for measuring soil health and soil carbon stocks<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
