The summer season is starting out strong with several ongoing field sampling campaigns. On June 27th our team visited the Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont (aka LEAF) to talk about soil biodiversity in urban soils and to take soil samples of their 3 gardens to understand what effects regenerative agricultural practices have had in the soil over time. This effort was lead by Dr. Joshua Garcia and with support of cooperative extension specialist Dr. Kayode Jegede.
The samples will be analyzed over the upcoming weeks for the abundance and diversity of nematodes, artropods, and microorganisms. We are excited to work alongside LEAF and support their educational mission to connect with the land through regenerative agriculture and learn to become stewards of the Earth.
