How we farm or ranch matters. Recent research and farm case studies clearly show that soil biology and plant species diversity play a crucial role in both the health of our livestock and our own health. They also play an important role in ecosystem and climate health. In this webinar we will explore the relationships between how we manage our farms and the ultimate outcome. Join Allen Williams as we will discuss why what you do matters, what are the critical steps we need to take and how we can all participate.
