Únase a nosotros para un viaje inmersivo en los fundamentos básicos de la salud del suelo con nuestro taller Vitalidad física. Sumérjase en el intrincado mundo bajo sus pies mientras exploramos los elementos esenciales de la estructura y la vitalidad del suelo. A través de demostraciones y actividades interactivas, las personas participantes adquirirán un entendimiento profundo de las propiedades físicas del suelo, incluyendo su estructura, su porosidad y su compactación. Nos equiparemos con herramientas como penetrómetros, palas y anillos de infiltración para que las personas asistentes aprendan a evaluar y medir estos aspectos cruciales de la salud del suelo en vivo y en directo. Ya sea usted un/a experimentado/a agricultor/a profesional o sólo un/a principiante, este taller ofrece valiosos consejos y destrezas prácticas para mejorar su entendimiento del suelo y optimizar las prácticas de manejo de su granja. Si asistió a alguno de los talleres sobre Salud Física del Suelo el año pasado, ésta es una gran oportunidad para repasar lo aprendido y poder ver cómo se aplican estos principios en otro lugar.

In this workshop, we’ll work backward through the IMO process, focusing on IMO4, a core practice of Korean Natural Farming (KNF). Rather than making IMOs from scratch, we’ll use fully prepared IMO4 to build soil fertility. You’ll see how to apply IMO4 in the field alongside a terminated cover crop, which will provide green biomass to feed soil microbes and jumpstart nutrient cycling.
