We took a deep dive into mycorrhizal fungi because they are a perfect example of how a better future for agriculture can be realized through plant and microbial relationships.

Due to beneficial interactions with plants, mycorrhizal fungi can improve yields, crop health, and soil food web resilience. Unfortunately, industrial farming practices, such as tillage and overfertilization, disrupt numerous soil functions, diminishing the abundance and diversity of mycorrhizal fungi in the majority of cultivated soils. So, we need to understand how to set the stage for regeneration of plant-mycorrhizal symbiotic partnerships to rebuild soil health.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
About our Speakers:
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.
Renald Flores is Founder and CEO of FLOR.ès.SENS SYSTEMS. Renald came from a background in finance and is now dedicated to Regenerative Agriculture. He is working on multiple soil regeneration projects in three European countries and he is currently working on a Ph.D. on the Application of Microbiology to the Soil.
In this webinar, Renald will present a Case Study on a project in Sweden, where he treated 8 crops and saw an average increase in yields of 72%.
Dr. Adam Cobb's passion for agriculture emerged during his several months of volunteer work on organic farms in New Zealand. His time in graduate school cultivated a broad vision for the restoration of living soils, as well as the power of research and community engagement to address global food production challenges. He joined the Soil Food Web School in 2021, following his dream to help regenerate soils, improve human nutrition, and heal our planet.
Dr. Carla Portugal is a Consultant Training Program Instructor and researcher, at the Soil Food Web School. Since she can remember, Carla was attracted to all life forms but the small and microscopic ones always had a special place in her heart. Carla has a keen interest in the connections between soil microorganisms and how nutrient cycling affects the nutritional value of plants.
Brian came from a background in IT and now runs a successful consultancy (Sprouting Soil) in California.
