Agriculture
Restorative Cultivation

Our current extractive farming processes reduce the ancient natural potential of an ecosystem and its service value. We can see this in the industrial food system, which incentivizes mega-sized farming and monoculture, degrading the soil, wasting fertiliser and directly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases. When coral reefs bleach and rainforests are replaced by savannah, we know it will take centuries for these ecosystems to recover their complexity. If a similar collapse is allowed to happen in our agricultural heartlands, the consequences will be global.
We are creating ventures to avert this disaster, leveraging modern techniques to restore soil quality and increase biodiversity, while ensuring scalability through strong commercials and knowledgeable local partners. Using our proprietary methodology, we have a bioregional focus, assembling consortia of partners to create companies that can be scaled across similar ecosystems.

Unlocking the Potential of Agricultural Residues
Agricultural residues are increasingly no longer seen as waste, but as valuable resources and inputs for other sectors of the economy. While advancements in technology are enabling the transformation of these raw materials into products, we are still failing to harness these resources effectively, with vast amounts of potential feedstocks being wasted or used for low-value applications. In this article, we explore how a commodity market for these materials might help us overcome this problem.

Soil erosion
From Erosion to Regeneration: Our Vision for Saving Agricultural Soils
Soil degradation from intensive farming practices creates an urgent need for regeneration but current erosion prevention solutions have limitations. In this article, we outline a promising alternative, using biodegradable polymers derived from natural sources, which can integrate into the soil while avoiding environmental risks.

Enhancing Plant Resilience for a Changing Climate
The detrimental effects of rising temperatures on crops are felt worldwide, as climate change expedites withering and drives premature ripening of agricultural produce. The repercussions extend beyond the affected crops, wreaking havoc on surrounding plant life and posing severe challenges for agricultural sustainability and profitability. In this article, we outline potential approaches to support farmers in meeting human needs, supporting livelihoods, biodiversity, and the natural processes that sustain life on Earth.
