Changes on the Farm 5 Principles to Soil Health Armor on the Soil Minimizing Soil Disturbance Plant Diversity Living Root Livestock Integration

Changes on the Farm Keeping a Living Root Plants Harvest the Sunlight that Provides the Energy that Drives the System That Energy is transported to the roots and handed to the soil in exchange for other items the plant needs Carbon is added to the soil. Organic matter Increases Soil Nutrient and Water Holding Capacity

More Carbon to the system. Doing No-Till Better Livestock Plants exude different compounds in the soil after being eaten and regrowth. More Carbon to the system. Mob Grazing
