COLUMBUS, Ohio —Celebrating the vital importance of soil health during the inaugural Ohio Soil Health Week, the School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR) in The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), will host a special Environmental Professionals Network (EPN) breakfast event on Nov. 12.
“The breakfast will bring together a diverse group of individuals interested in soil health from agricultural, land use, and ecological perspectives,” said Harrison Fried, EPN program director. “There will be ample opportunity for participants to connect and discuss soil health science and policy, and we look forward to engaging dialogue of the connection between soil health, environmental health, and human health.”
Ohio Soil Health Week, organized by Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) and the Ohio Soil Health Initiative, provides a time and space to celebrate and protect Ohio’s soils. This weeklong event, which henceforth will be held annually during the second full week of November, includes outreach and educational opportunities aimed at raising awareness of Ohio’s most valuable natural resource: soil.
