Strategies

Encourage methods of soil cultivation that keep at least one-third of cultivated soil covered with the previous year’s crop residue (e.g., mulch till, ridge till, strip till, or no-till)

Provide outreach and support to assist those whose employers do not offer affordable coverage, who are self-employed, or who are unemployed

Support a four-tiered approach to outdoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Provide culturally sensitive assistance and care coordination, and guide patients through available medical, insurance, and social support; also called systems navigators
