Valuing and harnessing the soil microbiome for sustainable and regenerative agriculture
December 5, 2023
Regenerative agriculture is everyone’s business now. Narratives at COP28 this week, resound with a very similar set of important messages. With a meaningful and scientific understanding of the biology of the soil, we can capture its real value. As part of a wider ecosystem of vibrant actors, we hope to help drive incentives for greater planetary health.
We are very excited to share our new thought-provoking article, ‘Natural Capital: Economic Incentives and Science-Based Targets for Integrated Soil Microbiome Solutions in Agriculture’ as we join many others across the globe, in celebration of World Soil Day 2023 today. The article reflects the outputs of a successful internship in 2023 undertaken by Finn Crawford (Harvard University) in conjunction with Dr Yvonne Pinto who leads AgBio at Eagle.
This is an important and unique analytical piece empowering broad audiences in agriculture, including advocates of nature-based solutions, restorative and regenerative agriculture, farmers, and researchers to unravel the economic and environmental benefits of healthy soils and the agricultural practices that support them. Alongside shedding light on the complex interactions between soil microorganisms, crops and environmental factors, this article has the potential to enable justification and a greater level of adoption of regenerative agriculture.
