Using the foundations of organic agriculture as the primary example of how to maintain and renew soil productivity, MedASH educates farmers to apply the basic principals of organic agriculture; professionals and researchers to create regional groups of soil health experts who will promote sustainable agriculture and farm management; professionals in the tourism industry to link their business with organic food producers to encourage the protection of soil, water and air (the resources that tourism depends on); and educators to set up class activities that promote the understanding of the idea that healthy soils mean healthy communities. The members of Medash have many years of experience (15-35 years) from a wide range of disciplines: farmers, agronomists, soil scientists, researchers, doctors, nutritionists, school teachers, professors, sociologists, ethnologists, biologists, and lawyers all play roles in the organization.
