Watch the March "Soils Support Agriculture" Video
The soil is the ultimate source of nutrients our bodies need. The vitamins and minerals that are a necessary part of our diet come from plants that have, in turn, gotten those same vitamins and minerals from the soil. Soils support agriculture by serving as the foundation of where we grow food. Download our March
Soils Support Agriculture video - it's also excellent for use in classrooms and any other event/activity that will benefit from video! You can also view it directly on
YouTube. Feel free to share widely!
