Our industry generally agrees our earth lacks carbon, and this gives rise to REGEN, a grandpa practice in good wisdom, and organic farming, that is not necessarily PPP free. We recognise the capability and supply GAP in the broader industry today, beyond microbes, for Mr Carbon, Mrs CO2 and Junior and recently baby, in a fully integrated monolithic system, that provides unprecedented field performance in just single application, in as soon as 3-7 days, including half-time production for applicable crops. The performance is distinctive, measurable both by eye and by laboratory testing, in the soil as well as in-plant for primary and secondary metabolites. More importantly, we are looking at growing into 1% global reach (fresh produce wholesome food) over timescale, through cooperation with like-minded entrepreneurs, farms, scientist, agri-food businesses, NGOs, institutions, producers and the list continues. We are walking out of Asia, to see exactly where we stand in AG today, through our performance, delivering results everyone can see. In summary, we fall back on basic 1,2,3. We have set our intention, and now the universe shall carry this intention and disperse this message to every corner of the planet we call Earth. 🙇♂️

Bio Ark Global aims to introduce to the local economy its bio-organic technology and agricultural inputs which are free of synthetic chemicals, GMOs, and contaminants. These products enhance the quality and quantity of crop yields. They also mitigate the effects of climate change on crop growth. Additionally, these fertilisers harness beneficial microbes that in the long term help to maintain soil fertility. One of Bio Ark Global's strategies is its commitment to a closed-loop and fully self-sufficient cycle, sourcing and producing all raw ingredients and fertilizers locally. This strategy fosters ecological and economic sustainability. https://lnkd.in/eyuw4D5w

Agro-ecology is an interesting example of “economic de-growth.” Agro-ecology envisions a world of abundance for all beings & aims to supply natural human rights: clean water, clean air, clean food, access to land, safe affordable housing, ethical meaningful work, community, & spiritual freedom,—autonomy, beneficence, justice, & non-maleficence. Biodiversity is important: cultivating a wide variety of crops, creates resilient ecosystems that are more resistant to pests & diseases, minimising the use of toxic chemicals in food production systems (such as pesticides & artificial fertilisers.) Agro-ecology is about creating diverse, productive agricultural systems that are as resilient as natural ones, minimising waste, human labour, & energy input, while maximising the benefits. Agro-ecology stands for the growth of agricultural ecosystems in a self-sufficient & sustainable way, based on crop diversity, resilience, natural productivity, & sustainability…&, ultimately, excluding the use of farmed animals: research showed more than once that the production of vegan food results in 75% less climate-heating emissions, water pollution & land use than diets in which more than 100g of meat a day was eaten, & that vegan products also cut the destruction of wildlife by 66% & water use by 54%. Whatever: everyone has the right to make their own decisions based on their own beliefs & values, but we should accept the limits to our consumption, so that we do not take more than the earth is able to provide. 🌱

🚀 Mycelium Materials Part IV: Powering Plant Growth & Microbial Diversity! 🌱 We’ve seen mycelium revolutionize construction and design, but now let’s dive into its potential as a fertilizer and growing substrate. It’s time to discover how these fungi are fueling the future of agriculture and biocultures! 🍄 Mycelium doesn’t just decompose waste; it nurtures life. Here’s how innovative companies are harnessing it to enrich soil, support plants, and cultivate beneficial bacteria: 🌾 Fertilizer Revolution: MycoBloom LLC (USA) - Transforming mycelium into organic fertilizers that rejuvenate soil health. Their products enhance nutrient availability and moisture retention, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Plant protein is about to become more efficient.

🌟 Rockstart invested in Point2Hectare via AgriFood Fund II 🌋 Use of chemical fertilizers is killing our soils. Repeated use over time leads to reduction of soil organic matter and micronutrients making for lower yielding crops with less resistance to pests and diseases. The soil itself becomes less effective as a carbon sink and Nitrogen runoff is harming our waterways and biodiversity. ⛰️ Point2Hectare are specialists in biochar application, a charcoal-like substance made from heating organic matter in a low-oxygen environment. One such application is NitroChar®, a cutting-edge green fertilizer technology enriched with Nitrogen designed to boost agricultural sustainability, making for a slower release of Nitrogen into the soil and simultaneously adding back carbon and structure to the soil. 🏔️ Farmers do not need to change their practices or tools - the biochar coated fertilizer can fit directly into existing applications. Point2Hectare is collaborating with established industry to bring this product to market. 👥 Founded in 2023 by Diana Smite, Dr. Jan Mumme , and Max Billinger draw on long experience in biochar initiatives and manufacturing, also advising many think tanks and agencies on biochar direction in light of substantial subsidies and grants available to farmers to transition to products that enhance carbon sequestration. We are delighted to be working together! Congrats, Point2Hectare! ✨ Interested in joining us? Learn more about Rockstart AgriFood: https://brnw.ch/21wMQDv #biochar #regenerative #soil #startup

The work of Dr. Christine Jones has sent me on a mind-bending journey this week that ended in listening to John Kempf and Rick Clark's podcast on Regenerative Agriculture Podcast this morning, which ironically, was also heavily inspired by her thought leadership. We had the good fortune of hearing Dr. Jones in person last week. Afterward, my daughter, Alena Moore, and I took a "deep dive" into the mechanics of the nitrogen cycle and root ecology during our drive home across the Palouse. She was fascinated by the fact that prokaryotes fix N naturally using enzymes. According to Dr. Jones, synthetic nitrogen significantly disrupts mycorrhizal sheath development, interrupting the "carbon flow". Given the energy intensity AND potential rhizosphere damage of synthetic N, we must learn to leverage the nature-based system. Alena was also astounded by the concept of "plants as farmers". 💡 They secrete sugars, enzymes, and various metabolites to help cultivate the rhizosphere to help feed themselves. It is a "community endeavor", nature is truly cooperative, and ignoring this fact has driven our systems so far out of balance! So here I am again, back at the place of soil ecosystem stewardship obsession as the key to restoring balance on the planet. 🙋♀️ How do we get consumers to understand that they play an important role in driving these systems? 💹 How can we support the farmers who scale these methods of farming and the businesses that support them? 🌱 How can we get retailers, chefs, and influencers to help us drive markets for diverse crops? We will NEVER achieve regeneration as long as the markets only reward corn, wheat, rice, and soy! Let's start eating more diverse foods and invest in value chains that help us commercialize diverse crops and even maslin-style agriculture, rather than just never-ending fields of mono-crops. It can be done, but not without support from the market, so if you eat, I am talkin' to YOU! The takeaway: “Dinitrogen is relatively inert, it’s not directly available to plants but microbial enzymes are the key. So again, we have to our exudates, we have to have photosynthesis, living roots, exudates, and diversity. Diversity is SO important to have all these things function effectively.”  ~Dr. Christine Jones To learn more about Dr. Jones, check out her website: https://lnkd.in/gePr5VTU Here are some great YouTube Videos: "Secrets of the Soil Sociobiome" with Dr. Christine Jones (Part 1/4). https://lnkd.in/gpsErd9S Dr. Christine Jones: Soil health, carbon and its relation to climate change https://lnkd.in/gMEJCBKd Here is the link to John and Rick's conversation: https://lnkd.in/gxNtT4ch Snacktivist #snacktivism #regenforthenextgen Regenerative By Design Podcast #liquidcarbonpathway #regenerativeag #foodsytem #organic
