Soil is far more than dirt — it’s a complex network of microbes\, insects\, fungi and organisms that support plant growth\, regulate water and sustain our planet. \nLed by Canadian agronomist and regenerative agriculture educator Kevin Elmy\, this forum explores the science and practical application of soil health. With over 20 years’ experience\, Kevin helps producers restore soil ecology\, improve resilience and rethink conventional farming systems. \nThis session delivers practical\, actionable strategies farmers can take home\, supporting low-input\, resilient systems that work with nature\, not against it. \nDesigned for anyone who works with soil — from backyards to paddocks — the forum unpacks the hidden soil landscape\, exploring plant interactions\, functional plant groups\, key soil principles and how everyday decisions impact life below ground. \nTogether with other expertise\, the forum will focus on: \n\nSoil microbes: bacteria\, fungi\nEarth worms and termite action\nCover and companion cropping\nLivestock integration\nNutrient cycling\nSoil organic matter\nPractical tips for soil management\n\nRegistrations are FREE\, so please secure your spot for catering and insurance purposes.\nStay connected through NACC NRM’s Facebook and Instagram pages for updates.
