Converting to No-Till on a functioning for-profit urban vegetable farm

This project proposes to convert one third of our workable acreage to no-till in each successive year, allowing the organization to completely use no-till after three years. The project will maintain/increase farm production during the conversion to no-till, allowing a comparison of production between no-till and tilled section. This project will improve soil function, including its ability to hold and infiltrate water and to recycle nutrients. The project also includes the organization of outreach programs at City Roots for at least 100 people per year on no-till farming.
