SUMMARY:Ohio Soil Health Week
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Soil Health Week provides a time and space to celebrate\, honor\, and protect Ohio’s soils. This weeklong celebration includes outreach\, education opportunities\, and events to raise awareness around Ohio’s most valuable natural resource: our soil. \nThe celebration will occur annually every second full week in November\, honoring the late David Brandt\, a sustainable agriculture trailblazer and the “Godfather of Soil Health”\, whose birthday falls that week. Ohio Soil Health Week will feature a variety of events hosted by multiple organizations and individuals around the state—all celebrating soil health. \n \nWe invite anyone who is interested in planning an Ohio Soil Health Week event to complete this form.  \nOn April 9\, 2024\, Ohio State Senator Tim Schaffer introduced Ohio Soil Health Week as an amendment to H.B. 162 to the Ohio Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. If you would like to support this legislation with testimony\, a letter of support\, or by contacting your state representatives\, please contact OEFFA Grassroots Policy Organizer\, Lauren Hirtle\, at lauren@oeffa.org.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Soil Health in the Miami Valley
DESCRIPTION:Let’s celebrate Ohio Soil Health Week with a special focus on the Miami Valley. Local organizations such as The Foodbank\, Inc.\, The Ohio State University Extension Montgomery County Office\, Central State University Extension Southwest Office\, and Five Rivers MetroParks are collaborating to provide their programs at The Foodbank’s Urban Garden. \nExploring the innovative approach to tackling hunger through soil health\, the tour of The Foodbank\, Inc.’s Urban Garden shines a light on sustainable solutions in the Dayton area. The OSU Extension’s demonstration of the Soil Moisture “Robot” and insights on interpreting soil test results lay the groundwork for understanding soil’s vital role. Further discussions with Five Rivers MetroParks delve into the potential of soils as carbon sinks\, offering a dual benefit of climate change mitigation and enhanced soil fertility\, while the compost kitchen initiative demonstrates practical steps for waste reduction and soil enrichment. CSU Extension complements this knowledge with a deep dive into the benefits of cover crops and soil biology alongside practical soil infiltration tests\, offering a holistic view of soil health. \nRegister for free here.
