The Nebraska Soil Health Coalition (NSHC), in partnership with Dr. Bijesh Maharjan, associate professor in soil science and agronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), is taking an important step toward understanding and improving the resilience of Nebraska’s soils. The NSHC is a grassroots effort focused on improving farm resilience from the ground up. In Hub 1, located in south-central Nebraska, the first region in this statewide effort, soil health benchmarking is underway to establish clear reference points that will guide producers, researchers, and conservation partners in sustaining the land for future generations.
