Vermont’s H525 addresses healthy soils among several agricultural subjects. The legislation establishes the Environmental Stewardship Program, which provides assistance to farmers to implement regenerative farming practices. It also establishes the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program and the Ecosystem Services Incentive Program, which provide farmers with financial assistance to implement “alternative nutrient reduction practices that improve soil quality.” “Healthy soil” is defined in the legislation as “soil that has a well-developed, porous structure, is chemically balanced, supports diverse microbial communities, and has abundant organic matter.”
