Soil Revolution Conference
The Soil Revolution Conference is an annual conference series planned and hosted by a collaboration of local Boulder County agricultural organizations.
The goal: to increase implementation of soil health practices and ideally soil health management systems in Boulder County and beyond.
On December 12, BVLCD helped host the ninth annual Soil Revolution conference. 230 people joined us at the Boulder JCC for a full day of soil health presentations from esteemed colleagues in the field. Alejandro Carrillo, a rancher in the Chihuahuan desert, started off the day by sharing how he uses adaptive grazing to change the microclimate of his ranch. Later in the day, Alejandro described best practices for livestock management to regenerate the land. Dr. Elizabeth Heilman discussed the role of the human psyche and emotional resilience in regenerative farming, as well as land management practices that can help transform local weather patterns. Lowell King, a conventional farmer turned regenerative farmer, shared his journey of transitioning to regenerative farming and the improvements in soil health that came along with this transition. The day was studded with networking opportunities with local businesses, agencies, and producers, a CDA round table focused on the Colorado Soil Health Program, and a moderated roundtable featuring all of the main speakers.
