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.

I LOVE it when you all talk careers. These are becoming my favorite webinars because you fill the gap in everyone's minds over how to make this a living and receive your ROI, not just a hobby/side passion that we paid for with time and money so we can help those close to us. Your discussions motivate me to reach way farther with career options in something I truly love and want to do/ be a part of for the rest of my life. Thank you!!

One of my favorite regenerative story’s. HOMES COUPLE SELF EMPOWERED. Under the bridge, down town. Lying comfortably on a carefully collected pile of bedding. A Homeless couple wakes with the morning sun. ‘Harry, did you see what our worms did last night?” The woman says, Pointing at the smoothed area in there corner on the ground. They use to throw away most of there waist, including there some of there property treated excrements. Harry rises with excitement, saying. “That’s amazing Sally, we put all that restaurants trash on there two days ago and it’s gone!” “Put up the sheet, Harry.” Sally says. “I have something more to add.” Later that month Sally and Harry are sorting out there valuable worm castings, from higher value Red worms under there bridge. “I’ll sell half our worms and all this fresh worm castings. Looks like we can add to our farm fund again!” Says Sally, smiling as if she had found lost Gold. “Sure beats digging through trash for recyclables or having to beg for our food again, or worse.” say Harry with a wink. As he limps over and hugs his wife, with tears in his eyes. Harry and Sally empower themselves and buy back there farm land. More Importantly! Our couples new lifestyle helps supply our local farmers the massive amounts of missing tool they need to help insure our future food recourse. Red Worms that add biodiversity in the composting process.

[@wildmanofthenorth1598]

I find that farmers tend to gather at the diner for coffee so word gets around that way if they're doing something different.

[@MicrobeMomma]

YAY! Very good seminar SFW folks!!

[@hhwippedcream]

Katie's description of the siloing of disciplines resonates...Thank you for sharing. Fabulous info for passing on.

[@jeremiahthomaskornder9044]

[@samples6684]

Quite possibly the most important and informative 2hours that I’ve spent, so Thank you. We need to turn this into a movement in order have a big social/cultural impact. I’m dead set on choosing this as my career path now, so thank you for reaffirming my intuition.

My name is Gideon Bayelle in USA,MD. I am looking for farmers to partner with to do farming in USA. Permaculture is my passion.

in certain areas of U.S., small-holder farms are writing grants to form regional or metro-area agriculture/food processing hubs

[@sguy3552]

I'm a new entrant regenerative farmer at a fork in the road. I worked on a mixed eneterprise farm for 3 years and have spent ££££ on CPD including Holistic Management and Whole systems farm design. I no longer work on a farm 😭😭 and I have no land, but I'm determined to have a career in regenerative agriculture as this is what I'm passionate about and believe in. Where do I go from here?!? No land to rent locally and not enough money to buy land...

Small backyard question here. I just have a compost tumbler, I don’t generate much. I add in kitchen and yard scraps. I have four small squares for growing food. When is the best time to take out my compost and put it in the raised beds? I feel like if I wait until spring, maybe I’ll lose some of the microbes? I was thinking of putting it down in fall. I’m in Chicago.

[@markrodrigue9503]

I understand Chicago gets freezing 🥶 I hope someone give’s you a answer that is through experience in that climate but I feel when the compost is ready put it out to help feed soil microbes plant anything that will grow at present time if you can harvest before it freezes that’s great maybe broccoli or radish turnips etc if you don’t harvest before freeze and plants die back it’s of your feeding soil microbes after plants die or when you harvest cut back at ground level leaving all roots in ground if you have more compost by then cover garden with it on top and mulch it with few inches of natural wood chips mulch and if you want you can put a tarp over it to keep snow off but not necessary then in spring when weather warms your beds are at there prime just pull back carbon and plant move mulch loosely around plants to suppress weeds and it fees the fungi good luck let me know in may are June how it goes

[@markrodrigue9503]

Put compost down when it’s ready plant some lettuce or somthing like mustard then winterize garden with mulch

[@jasontoolan3816]

Here’s what’s new in our Phoenix Niebor hood. I have found a growing new regenerative lifestyle called Intercity Homesteaders. Any one with yard space can start. Feed water and mostly free homemade Compost to a few of natures natural living cycles and it pays the bills. Producing a variety of ever increasing valued resources, to sell. Feeds the family much better quality food than can be found in stores. Such as expensive eatable Mushroom variety’s, vegetables, micogreens, high protein meats, fruits, berries and my favorite, broccoli sprouts. Compost and water can even feed chickens, cats and dogs optimal nutrients. When ran though a simple natural living cycle. I use the extra spaces in my home and yard to become a producer and ultimately an Intercity Homesteader. Most important! It directly supplies our local farms the massive amounts of what they need today, Rare high biodiversity Compost and Redworms. Homemade in an easy, aerated static composting process. This will help insure our local and National future food recourse.

[@jasontoolan3816]

One of the main incomes for Intercity Homesteaders is based on creating high biodiversity aerated static composted, Compost. On residential housings property’s Throughout the city’s and either Donate or sell the compost to local farms. Prices based on biodiversity. We self empowered citizens can do what no government or company could.

[@shanshine_intentional]

This is my goal! Land ownership in the first place is the trouble. 😅

[@jasontoolan3816]

​ @Shannon King, Rogue Valley for Sustainable Living Have you Considered convincing neighbors to allow your savory fragranced composting in there unused yards. Split some profits, perhaps? Hole Niebor hoods end up joining in. Supporting our local food supplies gives us a sense of control. Further reducing fear. Please share if you care.

I am getting a ton of mushrooms in the compost I am making. Is that a problem? Is there an imbalance that I can correct?

Are any of you concerned of big ag meaning companies that supply synthetic fertilizer gmo seed suppliers and petroleum based pesticides coming after your companies through lawsuits, sabotage, etc.
