The Management of Organic Inputs in Soils of the Tropics (MOIST) Group at Cornell University is an interdisciplinary working group set up in 1994 under the sponsorship of the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture, and Development (CIIFAD) to investigate and exchange information on cover crops, green manures, managed fallows and mulches in tropical farming systems. The original group name "Mulch-based Agriculture" (MBA) was changed to "Management of Organic Inputs in Soils of the Tropics" (MOIST) in order to reflect the group's wider interest in optimizing the management of organic inputs for harnessing the biological potential of legumes, manures, residues, and soil fauna to improve and sustain evolving agricultural systems in Asia, Africa and Latin America. MOIST coordinates development of the TropSCORE Consortium's Worldwide Portal to Information on Soil Health.
