Soil Health
Kansas Rural Center’s Soil Health Policy Program is sponsored by a generous grant from the National Healthy Soils Policy Network, of whom KRC is a current/founding member.
Policy Pathways to Protect Kansas Soil Health
In the Fall of 2020 the Kansas Rural Center conducted a survey on the soil health practices used by farmers in Kansas, as well as their attitudes toward policy initiatives that would support increasing these practices. KRC created a report of the survey results, meant to inform legislators about the opinions and concerns of farmers regarding soil health. In the second part of this project KRC formed a panel of ten farmers who participated in feedback sessions with legislators during the 2021 legislative session.
