In 2017, an El Niño event left the operation’s soils flooded and yields jeopardized. The devastation led the owners to the Soil Food Web Approach.

Witness this incredible success story and learn how the soil health and farming operations were improved, achieving a reported 200% increase in yields over just two growing seasons. Experience this transition from conventional, chemical farming practices to regenerative agriculture through the use of compost extract, teas; cover crops; animal husbandry, and more.

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.

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.
