Excited for our session at #AGU26 in San Francisco!
Please stop by on Friday, 11 December for our poster session: "Multifunctionality of Biochar in Agriculture and Natural Systems" studio.m-anage.com/agu/agu26…
Very nice educational activity booklet on #SoilHealth for students, future conservationists, and agricultural enthusiasts: nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/…
While weather has always shaped agriculture, modern climate shifts are increasing the frequency and economic severity risks like prolonged droughts and extreme rainfall.
But the best defense is right under our feet.
Regenerative organic practices aim to rebuild soil biology and structure to improve climate resilience, raising a critical question for modern farming.
Healthy soil isn't just an environmental goal; it is operational security via @RodaleInstitute: rodaleinstitute.org/science/…
This is a massive personal & professional milestone for me, and I couldn't be happier. So proud to see our hard work @RodaleInstitute recognized as PA Innovators!
A huge thanks to @GovernorShapiro- @AustinDavisPA Admin. & @PAAgriculture Secretary Russell Redding for investment.
With this funding, we are going to scale up precision weed management for organic farmers using cutting-edge, photo-guided cultivation systems.

The Expert Review of the First Order Draft of the Working Group I contribution to IPCC's Seventh Assessment Report opens today.
The review runs from 10 August to 2 October 2026.
Experts can register until 25 September 2026: bit.ly/4vi25cq

Last month, I attended the week-long “DSSAT 2026 International Training Program” in Griffin, Georgia, organized by UGA, UF, IFDC, and DSSAT Foundation.
The program focused on familiarizing participants with a comprehensive computer modeling system used to simulate crop growth and yield, as well as soil, water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and their applications to real-world agricultural challenges.
I will say, a must attend workshop if you are working on soil, weather, and management conditions. It opens the door of “virtual laboratory” that empowers you to predict long-term farming outcomes in a short time. #DSSAT #CropSimulation #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth
Proud to be a part of 2027 Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CDRT-CCUS)
More than 150 experts are gathered in Rome, Italy this week to begin work on IPCC's Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilization, & Storage.
The author meeting is held at FAO HQ & runs from 14 to 16 April 2026.

Our research provides a foundational understanding of how soil organic carbon is distributed & regulated in Nepal's key agricultural & forest soils doi.org/10.1007/s44246-024-0…
Industrial hemp is gaining attention for fiber & grain, but growers still face challenges with crop establishment, N supply, & maintaining soil health. It is often grown in rotation with legumes & barley, yet few studies have examined how these practices work together.
Our 4-yr field study at @RodaleInstitute shows:
• Legume cover crops improved hemp & barley yields, supporting soil health
• Moderate N rates increased fiber, grain yield, & crop quality
• Cover cropping with N management enhances organic hemp–barley production

Send us a quick message here! We’ll follow up with our email address and all the details on how to get started. #farmer #soilhealth
Rodale Institute has played a leading role in revitalizing regional hemp cultivation through scientific research. Our first study, together with Thomas Jefferson Uni., examined the mechanical properties of fiber hemp to assess its suitability for the fiber and textile industry.
We found that although tilled systems with higher nitrogen (N) rates produced greater total biomass, no-till systems with cover crops and minimal or no N inputs consistently yielded higher-quality fiber, with greater strength, tenacity, and elasticity.
Our research shows that using material science principles to fine-tune mineral inputs and soil management can improve sustainably grown hemp fiber while reducing environmental impact.
