About

The Soil Food Web is inspired by Elaine Ingham's extensive research and discoveries. The organisation has an educational focus and offers a range of courses to empower individuals and organisations to regenerate the soils.

With a restored soil food web in place, plants can control the nutrient cycling happening in their root zones, accessing the minerals that are stored in organic matter and in the parent material. plants get a constant flow of nutrients that they control.

The soil food web provides protection against pests and diseases and also inhibits the growth of weeds.

When the soil food web is restored, farmers no longer need to apply chemicals as ecosystem functions are restored. reduced irrigation and plowing requirements also result in cost savings.
