Healthy People need Healthy Plants
Healthy Plants need Healthy Soil
Healthy Soil needs Healthy Soil Biology
And our Soil Biology needs Our Help
What Went Wrong?
Our plants are dependent on a very diverse soil biology, a mixture of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and other small organisms with tens of thousands of known species.
Since the 1950’s, changes in farming have depleted the diversity of our soil biology, resulting in plants with lower resistance against disease and lower nutritional value.
How Does This Affect Us?
These farming changes have caused the nutritional value of our food to drop dramatically compared to 70 years ago, and with that our health has suffered accordingly.
At the current rate of decline, we run a serious risk of being unable to produce enough affordable healthy food and human health will continue to plummet.
What Can We Do About It?
Research over the past 30+ years has shown that we can restore soil health and grow plants that are nutrient rich by rebuilding the soil biology. This process does not require detailed knowledge of soil biology, large investments or a long time to become profitable. It needs a change in thinking.
We developed a simple way of rebuilding soil biology and have tried it on many crops. It works. We hope that you will benefit from our experiences.
