Farm Foundation, NFP and The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation today announced the launch of a new initiative designed to :bring attention to the critical role of soil health in the challenge of feeding 9 billion people by 2050.”
The announcement was made to mark World Soil Day which will be commemorated tomorrow, December 5, and coincides with Farm Foundation’s forum today on the Future of Federal Conservation Programs.
Through the leadership of the two foundations, the Soil Health Initiative will bring recognition to the central role of soil in productive agricultural systems, and establish a strategic plan to address soil health issues.

THIS TYPE OF AN EVENT COULD BE AGRICULTURES OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW LEADERSHIP ON A NATIONAL SCALE.. WITH A WELL ORGANIZED GROUP OF AGRICULTUAL LEADERS, THE PROGRAM COULD GET NATIONAL ATTENTION WITH THE PUBLIC WHEN IT SHOWS REAL PROMISE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT FROM A PROGRAM THAT WAS CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING CHEAP FOOD PRICES FOR AMERICA THROUGH AN AGRICULTUAL RESEARCH PROGRAM THAT WOULD REGENERATE THE HIGH PRODUCTIVITY OF AMERICAN SOILS WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES THAT TEND TO ALIENATE CERTAIN GROUPS AGAINST AGRICULTURAL EFFORTS. THE LEADERS OF THIS ORGANIZED GROUP RESEARCH, IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO DISCOVER WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO RE-ENERGIZE AMERICA’S SOILS, MUST ALLOW THEIR EXPERTS TO “WORK OUTSIDE THE BOX” IF NECESSARY TO EXPLORE ANY CHALLANGES THAT MIGHT RESULT IN FAVORABLE IDEAS FOR CREATING AND MAINTAINING A SUSTAINABLE “SOIL MEDIUM” THAT WOULD SUPPORT AN INCREASED LEVEL OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE FUTURE TO ENABLE THE AMERICAN FARMERS TO FEED AMERICA WITHOUT HAVING TO RELY UPON IMPORTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES..
