Back To Basics: SOIL REGENERATION 101
In our Back To Basics Series, we start from the very beginning for those of you who are new to all sorts of health related topics and make it as easy as possible to understand. In our current times of being bombarded by conflicting information, we want to bring you ways to simply understand the topics that drastically affect the health of you, and your families.
In Part 3 of this series, CHDC President Amanda Forbes sits down with crop nutrition expert Howard Vlieger to discuss Soil Regeneration, the process of improving the quality of soil by adding organic matter, which helps to improve drainage, water retention, and nutrition for plants. Soil regeneration farming involves returning nutrients and organic matter to the soil to restore the soil’s fertility and productivity. Whether you eat food, this is a topic that affects you.
If you have questions about Howard’s presentation after watching, you can contact him directly at [email protected].
Howard Vlieger has been a ‘student of the soil’ since 1989. He has been a crop nutrition adviser and has founded two companies to help family farmers reduce their dependency on chemical-based farming and transition to biological and/or organic production. Howard now works and teaches as an independent crop nutrition advisor, helping both crop and livestock farmers all across the U.S.
Howard works with scientists and researchers around the world to develop effective solutions, based on the latest science, for the real-life problems farmers are experiencing because of GMO crops and glyphosate. Howard is a co-author and the primary coordinator of a first of its kind scientific study: the feeding of GMO grain and non-GMO grain to hogs for their lifetime as a meat animal. Howard is an internationally recognized speaker on the topic of GMOs.
