The soil microbiome has an outsized impact on the phytochemical and nutrient content of agricultural crops. In practical terms, we perceive this through flavor and aroma. One study on Italian wheat varieties demonstrated a significant difference in bread flavor profiles when…

It's a common belief that cattle cause ecological destruction. So common that Allan Savory, whose grazing framework has been used to regenerate 40 million acres, once held this belief. That is, until he came across the work of a little-known Frenchman

California’s almond-growing region covers over 1 million acres and is where ~80% of the world’s almonds are produced, valued at more than $10 billion. The entire industry relies on imported bees for pollination, without which there would be no almonds.

The prevalent and persistent use of glyphosate on farms destroys the vital soil microbiome and compromises basic plant metabolism. As a result, our food supply is increasingly nutrient-poor and contaminated with glyphosate residue. A quick breakdown:

This coffee farm endured 3 decades of heavy fungicide use. After 3 years of no fungicides and an intensive program to restore soil and plant health the farm has become a paradise for beneficial fungi. Higher yields and improved coffee quality to boot.

With a quick turnaround from harvest to flowering, these coffee trees are displaying some exceptional vegetative growth. Rare to see on most coffee farms, this is an expression of superior vigor, health, and nutritional integrity. Zero synthetic fertilizers, zero fungicides.
