Virginia Tech Initiative

4 The Soil

The 4 The Soil initiative is a collaborative effort to raise awareness about soil health and the four core principles of soil health management. Our blog posts, social media content, campaigns, and other storytelling mediums engage broad and focused audiences throughout Virginia and around the world.

Virginia Soil Health Coalition

The Virginia Soil Health Coalition, established by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services in 2013, is a close partner of the initiative. There is often crossover to support their outreach, including specialized and technical blog posts.
