July 16, 2009: Future soil, future hope

Welcome to the Rodale Institute web update newsletter.

Hello: This update comes to you as we prepare for our “Cashing in on Soil Health” field day tomorrow on the Rodale Institute farm. We’re set to welcome crowds eager to act on ways organic agriculture can address climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and the need for sustainable, life-giving food for more people.

From the White House garden to carbon-friendly farming policy incentives, organics is rising as a practical approach with multiple solutions to some of society’s biggest problems.
