Sustainable & profitable: Healthy soils for stable production and lower costs.
The whole world benefits from better soils! The global market is enormous.
betterSoil works on mindset change but also on putting modern scientific knowledge into good practice combining it with millions old science we call indigenous knowledge. This is a great example of inter-generational collaboration to shape a future for the generations to come where all will have life in abundance on a healthy planet.
Fertile soils, species-rich forests and organic buildings are the magic triangle for a better world! Better soils grow better food, sustainably used forests promote biodiversity, and new opportunities for value creation arise for the local population. That is why my initiative Bauhaus der Erde and betterSoil are working together.
The "betterSoil" initiative has come at the right time! Our heartfelt thanks therefore go to Azadeh Farajpour and her team. It is good that the quality of soils is being discussed more intensively again, because conventional large-scale agriculture with a lot of agrochemicals has made many soils weak. Soils play an outstanding role in the preservation of biodiversity, especially by focussing on the often forgotten natural biocoenoses of soils.
