This quote by Vandana Shiva reinforces the fact that soil truly is life. 🌍 Vandana Shiva is an Indian environmental activist, eco-feminist, and author renowned for her work in promoting biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, and food sovereignty. She advocates against industrial agriculture and genetic modification, championing traditional farming practices and the rights of small farmers. Her efforts have earned her global recognition, including prestigious awards for environmental and social justice. Just as our bodies rely on internal balance for health, the earth depends on its soil to sustain life. When we care for the soil, we nurture the foundation of everything that feeds us, hydrates us, and sustains us. Let’s protect it. #SoilHealth #SustainableLiving #VandanaShiva #SoilHealthMatters

Have you heard this #SoilFact? There are instances of certain types of fungi living in the soil that emit a faint glow, a phenomenon called bioluminescence. It is more commonly seen in tropical soils with rich organic matter. There are likely several reasons for this phenomenon, but one theory suggests that the bioluminescence can attract other insects who will help to displace the fungi spores to other locations in the soil, helping them to spread and reproduce. Soil is amazingly ALIVE - containing an entire ecosystem within itself to help support all life on this planet. The vital role that soil plays in our lives highlights the importance of implementing sustainable practices that serve to preserve this essential resource.

Did you know biochar can improve soil fertility, retain moisture, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, amongst other benefits? 🌍 Made from organic materials through pyrolysis (a process that burns without oxygen), biochar is a sustainable farming solution with incredible benefits for the environment and your crops. BioChar can be used to: 🌱 Enhance Soil Fertility: BioChar’s high cation exchange capacity allows it to retain nutrients and release them slowly, enhancing plant uptake and reducing the need for extra inputs. 🌱 Improve Soil Structure: BioChar’s porous structure enhances aeration and allows plant roots to penetrate the soil more easily, while also retaining moisture and reducing the frequency of watering needed. 🌱 Balance Soil pH: BioChar’s alkaline properties allow it to help balance acidic soil which can contribute to healthier plant growth. It is particularly beneficial in soils with low pH levels. 🌱 Improve Filtration: BioChar can bind to heavy metals and other soil contaminants, preventing them from being absorbed by plants, making it a useful tool for reducing soil contamination. Do you use BioChar for your crops? Let us know in the comments below. #Biochar #SoilHealth #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture

One of the advantages of a revival in regenerative farming in our modern society is the technological advancements that can complement natural practices and make them more efficient. While it is important to incorporate natural practices back into conventional agriculture, true sustainability also means understanding that there are always methods that can be refined and improved. Technology can help with this refinement and allow farmers to use both their time and resources more efficiently to maximize their yield and profits. Here are 5 Tech Solutions that can support a healthier and more sustainable approach to Ag: 🌱 Smart Soil Sensors 🌱 Cover Crop Seeders with Variable Rate Technology 🌱 Drones for Soil Analysis & Crop Monitoring 🌱 Microbial Inoculants 🌱 Compost & Organic Fertilizer Spreaders Click through the slides to read more about each solution - and let us know in the comments which ones you are already implementing on your farm! #soilhealthmatters #sustainablesolutions #smarttechnology #regenerativeagriculture #regenag #futureoffarming

"Regenerative Agriculture is about restoring the soil to health so it can heal our planet and us" - Gabe Brown A known soil health advocate and author of the book "Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey into Regenerative Agriculture", Gabe Brown won the 2021 Heinz award for his Environmental work. Brown's words ring true more and more, as we realize that preserving this vital resource is the key to having a healthy planet for generations to come.

Today's Soil Fact: Soil is the vital main habitat for Decomposers: a specific category of organisms that break down decaying organic waste and turn it into nutrient-dense compounds that allow new life to grow. This category of organisms includes bacteria, fungi, earthworms, and various insects. These organisms break down dead plants, animals, and waste materials, cycling them into available nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for new plant life to thrive. Decomposers are fundamental members of the Soil Food Web, sitting at the base of this system, providing food and energy for other organisms such as predators (like nematodes and arthropods) that rely on them for sustenance. Without sufficient organic matter in the soil, decomposers would not be able to carry out their functions, which would mean decreased soil fertility and poor plant growth. Healthy soil rich in organic matter helps to maintain a thriving ecosystem that supports healthy plants and leads to higher yields.

Testing your soil is the number ONE way of knowing which nutrients are lacking and how to amend it for optimal plant growth. A comprehensive soil test will give you the most accurate results and set you up for success in future growing seasons. That being said, nutrient deficiencies in the soil will often start showing up in plants in telltale ways - causing visible issues in coloration and growth. These signs of nutrient deficiency are among the most common and can help point you in the right direction when it comes to your soil's needs. If plants are showing these signs, there is a very high chance of a nutrient imbalance and the best way to get the full picture is to test your soil before creating a tailored plan of action. #soilforhumanity #soilhealth #healthysoil #soilhealthmatters #soilnutrients #soilamendments #nutrientdeficiency #farming #organicfarming #regenerativeagriculutre #regenag #naturalsolutions #feedthesoil #farmthesoil

"Sustainable Agriculture is not a one-size-fits-all recipe. It requires diversity and adaptation to local conditions." - Miguel A. Altieri (Agronomist and Entomologist) This quote raises a very important topic around soil health and successful growing. Many factors need to be considered when moving toward a more sustainable farming method. There is no magic solution that will apply to every farm and every situation. Oftentimes, multiple solutions need to be combined to create the ideal conditions for improved soil health and future farm success. Environment, weather patterns, and local biodiversity all need to be taken into consideration. The first step requires testing the soil, to get a better understanding of what is needed. Fall is the ideal time to test, as this will allow growers to make important adjustments before the next growing season and start on the right foot.

You may already be familiar with the work of Dr. Elaine Ingham, the soil scientist who coined the term "Soil Food Web". This web refers to the interconnected cycle of organisms and natural processes that create a biodiverse, healthy, living soil. With different levels of prey and predator, each playing an important role in the breakdown of organic matter and the cycling of nutrients - the Soil Food Web offers a detailed understanding of how vital it is to reduce the way we interfere with these natural cycles. Dr. Ingham's work is instrumental in highlighting the importance of healthy soil, and she makes this topic accessible to so many around the globe with her webinars (many available directly on YouTube).
