Jill Clapperton, an internationally known soil health specialist, leads this information-packed classroom on how to supercharge your soil health. Clapperton walks through the transitional phases in achieving a regenerative agroecosystem, how no-tillers can speed up the transition, major indicators for soil health and what you can measure to see if you’re on the right track.

You’ll Learn: Techniques for building healthier, more productive no-tilled soils & ways to measure your progress.

Showing growers how to benefit from the amazing millions of critters living beneath the soil surface, Clapperton says no-till has evolved to where it not only improves soil structure and stops erosion but also is having a far-reaching impact on consumer food preferences and human health. An internationally known soil health specialist and soil ecologist, Clapperton analyzes the relationships between organisms and their environments to more effectively manage and benefit from the long-term biological fertility of our soils. Among only a handful of soil ecology scientists in the world, she is known as a rhizosphere ecologist and is a popular speaker at no-till events, including the National No-Tillage Conference. Previously working with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at Lethbridge, Alberta, Clapperton is now the owner of Rhizoterra.

Clapperton will also be presenting the Harry Young Jr. Memorial Lecture Series "Going Down the Wormhole of Soil Health
