Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Crop nutrition, soil health, and seed genetics are important for producers in making crop management decisions. However, these decisions are often narrowly focused on crop yield impacts and do not consider broader potential impacts. This presentation provides an overview of the USDA ARS Health Soils -Healthy People -Healthy Plants Initiative, which is a collaborative effort between the three ARS research locations in North Dakota. The presentation describes how these three ARS units are working together to assess impacts of soil health management principles and practices on grain quality with consequences for human nutrition.
