Healthy soil isn’t just an environment goal – it’s a business strategy
The Hidden Workforce Beneath Our Feet Soil is not just dirt; it’s a dynamic ecosystem. Billions of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, protozoa—work together to cycle nutrients, build soil structure, and protect plants from disease. These microbes: Break down organic matter, releasing essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. Improve soil aggregation, enhancing water infiltration and reducing erosion. Form symbiotic relationships with roots, increasing nutrient uptake and plant resilience. When these functions thrive, crops grow stronger, inputs like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides decrease, and the farm becomes more resilient to climate extremes. Ecosystem Function and Financial Stability Supporting positive ecosystem functions isn’t just good for the environment—it’s good for business. Healthy soils reduce dependency on costly inputs, improve water efficiency, and stabilise yields over time. This translates into: Lowering input costs through natural nutrient cycling. Higher productivity from improved root health and soil structure. Risk mitigation against droughts and floods thanks to better [...]
