Why Now?

Why Now?

Decades of monoculture farming, heavy fertilizer use, and climate change have pushed soil health to a historic low. This threatens food security, reduces crop nutrition, and leaves farmers struggling with declining soil organic carbon and shrinking biodiversity. As a result, soils are less resilient, retain less water, and degrade faster. The financial impact is massive, with land asset values declining by billions of dollars.
