A global non-profit dedicated to safeguarding and enhancing the vitality and productivity of soils, SHI brings together partners in science and industry to advance soil health knowledge, helping farmers and landowners successfully adopt regenerative systems. As SHI marks 10 years of impact, the organization invites scientists, farmers and ranchers, landowners, advisors, and those in academia, industry, government, nonprofit, philanthropy, and other sectors to explore the virtual meeting's wide-ranging agenda of actionable information on soil health, the foundation for regenerative agriculture.
Panel discussions, workshops, and plenary sessions will cover topics including:
- Farmers' Experiences with Regenerative Soil Health Systems
- Qualities of Effective Soil Health Education Programs
- Engaging Brands and Organizations in Scaling Soil Health Systems
- Recent Advances and Future Directions for SHI
- Measuring Progress at Improving Soil Health
- Philanthropy in Regenerative Agriculture
- Soil Health Impacts on Water Quality and Quantity
- The Future of Soil Health
Researchers from around the world will share findings in several interactive poster sessions, and networking opportunities for registered attendees have already begun.
The meeting comes at a pivotal time for SHI, which this month received the Presidential Award from the American Society of Agronomy, recognizing its commitment to regenerative soil health systems that enhance soil productivity and food security. In August, founding President and CEO Dr. C. Wayne Honeycutt announced he would retire in early 2026, launching a national search for SHI's second leader with an announcement expected in December. The meeting also falls between Giving Tuesday (Dec. 2), a time for those invested in resilient farms and rural communities to show their commitment with a gift to SHI, and World Soil Day on Dec. 5.
