Our speaker is Dr. Christopher Potter, Ph.D. of CASA Systems in Los 
Gatos. A soil scientist with over 10 years of field experience working 
in agriculture in northern California, Christopher Potter specializes in 
carbon farm planning. He will cover the basics of the carbon cycle, 
sequestration and the benefits of carbon to soil health, enhancing soil 
microbiology; field-based methodologies for measuring changes in crop 
production, soil carbon, and microbial activity; and composting, 
mulching and other management practices to improve vineyard soil health. 
And, he will let us know about a grant program available from Santa 
Clara County for its Agricultural Resilience Incentive (ARI) program 
that funds compost and mulch application and practices that improve soil 
health.  Dr. Potter has received major grant funding from the State of 
California (CDFA) Healthy Soils Program and has worked for several 
years under the CDFA Demonstration programs in croplands, orchards, and 
rangelands to assess carbon capture and improvements in soil water 
retention and drainage.  He has lived in Los Gatos for the past 25 years.
