The Soil Health Institute (SHI) recently announced its 5th Annual Meeting will go virtual.
“Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will hold an online annual meeting this year,” Dr. Wayne Honeycutt, SHI President and CEO, said.
“The good news is there will be no registration fee; however, we will still need people to register so they can access the event and we can provide meeting information via email,” Dr. Honeycutt said. “The poster session, which has become an integral part of our meeting, will be incorporated into the virtual event through video presentations. We are also working to provide Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits for participating certified crop advisors.”
The virtual annual meeting will still be held from July 30 to 31, 2020, as previously announced. An agenda and more information on how to register will be available in early May.
This year’s theme is "Soil Health: The Foundation for Regenerative Agriculture," reflecting the opportunity we have to address climate change, water quality, food production, biodiversity, and many other pressing issues by improving soil health.
