    Proposal abstract:

    This project is designed to bring awareness to soil health and the relationship that different sustainable agriculture practices have on it. This project utilizes multiple laboratory techniques that demonstrate soil health and its relationship to different farming practices. By creating easy to use/follow soil health kits we hope to connect with over one hundred and thirty different communities across North Dakota and Minnesota.
