The 12th edition of Green Cover's Soil Health Resource Guide grounds readers in the six principles of soil health and expands outward into science, case studies, and practical cover crop guidance. Leading voices in regenerative agriculture — Dr. Kristine Nichols, Dr. Christine Jones, Dr. Jerry Hatfield, Gabe Brown, Rick Clark, and others — share research and field-tested insights. Case studies from the Resilience Builders podcast feature farmers who are putting regenerative practices to work, while the Cover Crops section walks through seed quality, species selection, and mix design. A solid starting point for anyone building toward healthier soils and a regenerative farm.
