Soil for Water

Soil for Water's mission is to catch and hold more rainwater in our soils. We aim to create a critical mass of landowners who are applying regenerative agricultural practices that improve soil health and the water cycle. These practices include, but are not limited to, adaptive grazing methods. We act as a facilitator, networker, and connector to an expanding web of partners interested in this mission. Soil for Water is a project of the National Center for Appropriate Technology, in partnership with Holistic Management International. We seek and welcome collaboration with all other organizations that share our mission.
