This webinar will cover select topics from Technical Note 12 – Conservation Activities in Organic Farming Systems – which provides a wealth of knowledge needed to effectively support the unique requirements of organic producers. Tech Note 12 helps organic producers articulate the conservation benefits of their practices in the language used by NRCS field agents and TSPs. This clarity is crucial for accessing NRCS programs. Part one of this webinar will cover the areas of soil health, climate, and nutrient management as they relate to organic management. The webinar will provide detailed scientific information in these areas as they relate to organic production and give real-world examples that illustrate how conservation activities have been implemented. Continuing Education credits will be available for this webinar.
