Our work starts with soil...

Healthy soils are the foundation of robust and resilient agricultural systems and economies. Our team is passionate about the science of soil health and the numerous environmental challenges that can be addressed through improved soil management. 

And is grounded in community.

We create networks of stakeholders that are passionate about research, collaboration, and solving real-world problems. From governmental agencies to non-profits... From individual producers to international food companies.... We believe the soil-related challenges we face in the Rocky Mountain region can be overcome when we invite more people to the table.

We measure soil health on farms and ranches across the region. 

Colorado Soil Health Inventory is an interactive map showcasing farms and ranches participating in collaborative soil health research across Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain region. Each point on the map represents a working agricultural operation where conservation data has been collected, including details on cropping systems, irrigation types, and soil health principles in use.

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all … Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”
