  • Better Soil Regeneration

  • Less Food Waste

Soil regeneration, as a particular form of ecological regeneration within the field of restoration ecology, is creating new soil and rejuvenating soil health by:

  • Minimizing the loss of topsoil

  • Retaining more carbon than is depleted

  • Boosting biodiversity

  • Maintaining proper water and nutrient cycling.

This has many benefits, such as: soil sequestration of carbon in response to a growing threat of climate change, a reduced risk of soil erosion, and increased overall soil resilience.
