Sustainable Farming Playbook: Soil Health, Rotation, and Organic Methods
About This Course
Sustainable Farming Playbook: Soil Health, Rotation, and Organic Methods is a practical course that helps farms design resilient, low‑input systems by improving soil, planning rotations, and applying organic practices that sustain yields, profits, and ecosystems.
Learning Objectives
Diagnose soil health using simple field tests and basic lab indicators, then build a 12‑month soil improvement plan with organic amendments and cover crops.
Design 2–4 year crop rotations that break pest and disease cycles, balance nutrients, and stabilize revenue across seasons.
Implement core organic methods: composting, green manures, mulches, biofertilizers, and low‑risk pest/weed tactics aligned with certification principles.
Track sustainability performance with practical indicators for soil, water, inputs, and biodiversity aligned with recognized frameworks.
Material Includes
- Soil health tracker: pH, OM, bulk density, infiltration, and visual soil assessment prompts.
- Rotation and cover‑crop planner: crop families, windows, nutrient balances, and pest‑break flags.
- Composting worksheets: feedstock ratios, moisture targets, turning schedules, and quality checks.
- Organic transition checklist: inputs, documentation, field records, and audit prep notes.
- Sustainability KPI dashboard aligned to widely used reporting concepts for small farms.
Target Audience
- Small to mid‑scale producers and new agripreneurs seeking an actionable, field‑tested approach to regenerative and organic methods without advanced prerequisites.
- Teams preparing for organic transition or looking to embed sustainability metrics, compliance, and risk reduction into everyday operations.
