Living soil: the foundation of regenerative agriculture

Living soil is the foundation of any truly regenerative agriculture. More than a physical substrate, it is a complex organism made of bacteria, fungi, roots, organic matter and minerals in dynamic balance.

What defines living soil

• Permanent ground cover.
• High plant diversity with roots at different depths.
• Continuous input of organic matter.
• Minimal tillage and chemical inputs.

How to start regenerating

Start by observing. Map compacted, exposed or eroded areas. Then introduce green manures, mulch and simple biofertilizers, gradually expanding biological diversity.
