Delta Institute works with communities throughout the Midwest to solve complex environmental challenges. This grant supports work to standardize soil health testing and develop easy-to-use kits which connect with data lab systems. The goal is to help Northern Illinois farmers increase profitability by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, increase their soils’ resilience against extreme weather events, and reduce local greenhouse gas emissions
