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:Take Action for Soil Health!
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the first annual Ohio Soil Health Week by joining OEFFA in telling Ohio legislators that soil health matters! OEFFA\, the Ohio Soil Health Initiative\, and allies are urging decision-makers to pass House Bill 568\, which would create a Healthy Soils Task Force to develop a comprehensive healthy soils initiative for Ohio. \nHealthy soil is essential to our future. Soil is the foundation of our food and farm systems and when its health is prioritized\, it holds more water\, reduces runoff\, and protects water quality. Healthy soils also help combat climate change by sequestering carbon and building on-farm resilience to withstand the ever-increasing extreme weather events. Farmers want to take advantage of soil health practices that build soil fertility and reduce their need for fertilizer—keeping more money in their pockets. Ohio policies can help. \nThat’s why OEFFA\, the Ohio Soil Health Initiative\, and allies are urging decision-makers to pass House Bill 568\, which would create a Healthy Soils Task Force to develop a comprehensive healthy soils initiative for Ohio. \nIn just a few minutes\, you can email your Ohio legislators to let them know how important soil health is to Ohio—and that you want support for this vital piece of legislation! \nTake action now!
