Soil is the foundation of growing healthy food. Learn the properties of soils and how to maintain and build soil health. We will discuss the types of soils and their attributes, how to keep soils healthy and what activities contribute to degrading, maintaining, and building healthy soils. 

Speaker: Dr. Sarah Hargreaves, Soil Microbial Ecologist and Research & Small Grains Program Director, Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario.

This webinar is offered as part of the Ignatius Farm New Farmer Training Program. Educational content is geared toward new farmers, but is open to all farmers who might be curious about a certain topic, wishing to expand their farming knowledge, or in need of a refresh.

Anyone wishing to attend the full Term 1 can do so here. Registering for Term 1 does not require you to register for each individual session.

In order to make our training and community building events accessible to all farmers (and future farmers) in Ontario, the Ignatius New Farmer Training Program strives to cover registration fees for anyone facing financial barriers. Need assistance covering the registration fee? Let us know!
