Soil Health Network

About the Network

 

OrCAN brings together an inclusive, collaborative statewide Soil Health Network to promote soil health for climate resilience. Partners including Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), OSU Extension, nonprofits, state and federal agencies, and researchers from across Oregon join to align resources and meet farmers’ needs on the ground. We focus on meeting the needs of historically marginalized and under-resourced producers, building relationships inclusive of Black, Indigenous, and other Farmers of Color (BIPOC), while supporting small and large scale producers, conventional and organic growers, and more.

​

The Soil Health Network supports implementation of soil health practices on Oregon’s farms and ranches by:

• ​Streamlining Resources with relevant and accessible tools

• Fostering Connection by creating opportunities for learning and peer support

• Building Capacity for farm service providers to meet producers' needs

• Strengthening Alignment and enhancing collaboration
