Importance of Soil
Soil is the key building block of life and if treated like dirt, can detrimentally impact our lives and tilt our ecosystem out of balance. The food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink, and environment that sustains it, count on a balanced ecosystem.
Climate change, human and animal health, and our natural resources count on the proper management and care of the soil beneath our feet.
Stimulation of beneficial microorganisms, inhibition of detrimental pathogens, and overall biomass health, depend on the benefits provided by soil symbiosis.
Conventional Farming
-
Heavy tillage and limited agriculture biodiversity
-
Moisture loss in the soil from evaporation
-
Eradication of beneficial soil microorganisms
-
Carbon is released to atmosphere
-
Increased erosion potential with no soil barrier
-
Heavy supplemental nutrients/chemicals used
-
Regenerative Farming
-
No tilling and dense agriculture biodiversity
-
Moisture stays in soil
-
Complex fungi colony
-
Sequestered carbon remains in soil
-
Soil is protected by cover crop biomass
-
Nutrients are provided naturally
-
