VA HR228

Virginia House Resolution commends the Virginia Soil Health Coalition, established in 2013 by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as part of its soil health initiative

The Coalition promotes four principles of soil health: keeping soil covered, minimizing disturbance, maximizing living roots, and energizing with diversity

Coalition efforts support Virginia's water quality improvement commitments in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Virginia has gained national recognition for leadership in adopting soil health principles and practices due to the Coalition's work bringing together agriculture, conservation, and research institutions

The Clerk of the House of Delegates is directed to present a copy of this resolution to the Coalition
