Management Practices in Hawaii Soils
These resources will continue to grow and currently focus on practices to improve soil and crop health. To learn about soil health practices and trials used by local farmers and extension, please visit the searchable online journal produced by the UH Sustainable and Organic Agriculture Program, Hanai Ai at: https://cms.ctahr.hawaii.edu/soap/Hanai-Ai

To learn more about soil health practices used by farmers who participated in this cohort, please visit our landing page and use the drop down menu at the top left screen to view features on specific soil health practices.
