We’re at an inflection point.
Desertification threatens almost all of our agricultural land within the century.
Over millennia, humanity has unwittingly oxidized, poisoned, and eroded its precious life-giving earth to critical levels; turning vast landscapes into deserts. The once Fertile Crescent is now a desert. The Sahara could also have been green and lush today, if it were not for our mismanagement. This process continues at an increasing rate thanks to mechanization and synthetic inputs.
We know how to build the soil back – now is the time.
soil.builders exists to bring life, harmony, inspiration, and prosperity back to the land by helping build a healthy living soil which retains water, avoiding flood/drought cycles; grows nutrient dense food; and pest and disease resistant crops.
We support farmers to make the transition from conventional to regenerative organic farming for the benefit of human and planetary health — not to mention the farmer's financial health!
Headquartered in France, we have an international team of seasoned agronomists, technical experts, and farm designers to help bring your project to fruition.
Just like us, a plant's immune system depends on its microbiome. Ours is in our intestines. The plant's, is in the Living Soil.
Biocides and synthetic fertilizers destroy the soil microbiome, taking the plant's immune system with it. Thereafter, the crop will depend on the agricultural inputs just to survive, but it will never thrive.
Organic matter is essential because our precious microbes, who provide countless services to farmers, need somewhere to live and food to eat.
With microbiological help, organic matter also increases water infiltration. percolation, and retention.
The most important part of the process, by far, is the change in farming philosophy.
If the farmer cannot change his mind and adopt new ways of thinking, he will struggle to sustain any improvements in his results.
Beyond NPK is an exciting realm of complex interactions between dozens of essential micronutrients.
Without these, plants cannot thrive and express their genetic potential.
We make sure to measure what your crops need and supply them with ALL their nutritional requiements in sufficient quantities at the right times.
The best soils are made by the healthiest plants. That is the root of the matter!
At soil.builders we don't leave your farm's success to chance.
We measure everything and in more detail than you might imagine, right down to the genetic level.
A balanced living soil is a complex system offering the hormones, enzymes, minerals, stimulants your crops need to thrive, especially in challenging environments.
Even if you have never had animals on your farm, livestock integration can offer enormous benefits and additional income streams.
Herbivores can repair even the most challenging soils, and quicker than you would expect – if it's done correctly.
