Online conversations on soil health

New Mexico Healthy Soil Working Group guests start with a short presentation, followed by conversation with participants.

David Johnson is a molecular biologist conducting research as Research Scientist at the Institute for Sustainable Agricultural Research at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM and an Adjunct Professor at the Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems at California State University, Chico, CA.

David’s research in soil microbial community structure and function, has opened a window for viewing the interdependence between plants and soil microbes. Rebuilding a soil’s microbial community population, structure, diversity and biological functionality will also provide a robust and practical mechanism to begin reducing atmospheric CO 2 within a regenerative agricultural system. David and his wife, Hui-Chun Su Johnson, will also talk about the construction, filling, and management of the Johnson-Su static pile composting bioreactor.
