----------
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.

This is Just breathe taking... Your work is just wonderful and it is clear that there is a better approach and way to grow food and plants in general..

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi, what do you recommend for a home/condo garden? I can’t really justify the price of your course for 1000sqft, which has to mostly stay grass, but I can justify a book on microbes or assessing the appropriate area a plant belongs in

Thank you for the great question! Please contact us at [e-mail] so a member of our Science Team can get back to you.

Can I collect IMO from here

I'm unsure why governments world wide don't use these methods. I'm a real simple average bloke and I feel if we all don't responsibility to healing mother earth our own health and well being will suffer. As a father I ask ... When all the soil has gone, animals extinct, what are you going to eat? Plastic money, plastic cards will not feed myself nor my son. Every small effort counts !! Thanks Doc and friends 😃😁😊

Lobbyists. Chemical companies have too much to lose. I plan to start an organization soon that will fund me getting the soil-food-web certifications, as well as everyone I can afford to employ.
