Grow Better Together
Sound agricultural practices improve soil health, regional ecology, and our well-being.
Our mission is to inspire the widespread implementation of regenerative agriculture practices throughout Idaho to improve the environmental, economic, and social outcomes of farming and ranching.
What are the Five Principles of Soil Health?
The Idaho Strategic Soil Health Summit was held on February 12, 2024 in Twin Falls, Idaho. Hosted by the Regenerative Agriculture Network of Idaho (RANI), the Summit brought together stakeholders across agriculture, academia, industry, government, and nonprofits to discuss soil health throughout the state.
The meeting uncovered key findings that provide clear direction for improving soil health practices in Idaho and offer a roadmap to implementing statewide soil health goals and strategies.
