Healthy Soils: The Foundation of Today’s Agriculture

By Cotton Grower Staff|October 8, 2022

If you’ve had a conversation about agricultural production in the last year, it likely included terms like “soil health,” “microbiome,” or “regenerative agriculture.”

And with good reason. Soil health has gained a top-of-mind position across all segments of agriculture. And it’s here to stay.

“Of all of the subjects we have covered over the past year in Meister Media Worldwide’s Global Insight Series focused on sustainability in agriculture, few topics have been hotter than soil health,” says Richard Jones, Corporate Content Director for Meister Media Worldwide (publisher of Cotton Grower and other ag industry publications). “From an improved understanding about the benefits it provides to growers and their crops, to increased scrutiny and interest from regulators and the general public on sustainable production methods, it’s easy to see why there’s so much focus on building a solid foundation with our soils.”

The latest Global Insight Series Report, Soil Health, focuses on some of the most recent developments happening across agriculture, including both the specialty and row crop areas. The report highlights:

Insights on the State of Soil Health in agriculture from experts in nutrient management, biologicals, amendments, and soil testing
Techniques specialty crop growers are using to replace chemical fumigants
A look at the focus regenerative agriculture is gaining with companies in the U.S. and globally

The interactive format of the report allows you to read analysis and information provided by our expert contributors, and also hear directly from them through video insights. This report is the fifth in Meister Media’s new Global Insight Series of online publications, with an expanded series of reports and other digital content launching in 2023.
