Diminishing Soil Fertility
The Soil-ution
With a restored soil food web in place, plants can control the nutrient cycling happening in their root zones, accessing the minerals that are stored in organic matter and in the parent material. Plants get a constant flow of nutrients that they control.
Watch the animation on nutrient cycling for more info.
Diseases, Pests & Weeds
Problem Solved
The soil food web provides protection against pests and diseases and also inhibits the growth of weeds.
For more information watch the animations on suppressing pests and diseases, as well as weed suppression.
Declining Profits
How We Can Help
When the soil food web is restored, farmers no longer need to apply chemicals as ecosystem functions are restored. Reduced irrigation and plowing requirements also result in cost savings.

The Soil Food Web is an Essential Component
of a Healthy Ecosystem.
Bird & Insect Populations
With the soil food web in place and the use of natural farming practices, pesticides are not required. The soil food web naturally supports plant health and protects plants from attack.
Watch the animation on Pests & Diseases for more info.
Climate Change
Plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and they invest some of this into the soil (~40%), to feed microorganisms. It’s estimated that by regenerating the world’s soils we could halt and even reverse climate change within 15-20 years!
Watch the animation on Soil Carbon Sequestration.
Soil Erosion
The soil food web microorganisms build soil structure that prevents erosion by wind and rain. Compaction layers are broken-up, allowing water and plant roots to penetrate deeper, fostering healthier growth and increased productivity.

Dr. Elaine’s™
Soil Food Web Approach
After discovering the Soil Food Web Approach (Nature’s Soil Operating System) nearly four decades ago and pioneering research in the field, Dr. Elaine Ingham is recognized as the foremost soil biologist in the world.
The complete Soil Food Web can be found in virgin soils around the world.
Dr. Elaine’s™ Soil Food Web Approach is the key to rapid and effective soil regeneration. Only with the complete soil food web in place, can the ecological functions of the soil be restored, protecting and purifying the world’s waterways, reversing Climate Change and providing super-nutritious foods. Using BioComplete™ Soil Amendments, most soils can be regenerated in the first growing season.
