STUDY: Corporations are destroying our planet’s soil
New research published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science reveals that multinational corporations are rapidly destroying the world’s soils by contaminating them with deadly insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. All the chemical garbage that gets sprayed on genetically modified (GMO) crops, making corporate executives filthy rich at the expense of our planet, is quite literally […]

Climate-based courting: Trees take note of climate when establishing symbiotic relationships
Plants such as trees form symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi in the soil, with the latter helping capture nutrients and minerals from the environment. In turn, the tree shares some of the food that it produces using the energy of the sun with these bacteria and fungi. Now, a study published in the journal Nature demonstrates that […]

Restoring a more biodiverse ecosystem helps promote “good” bacteria, which can improve human health: Study
Unless you’re a gardener or farmer, you probably don’t give soil much thought. You know it’s there, but you don’t think it affects you very much – unless you get it on your shoes and track it into the house. However, soil is the foundation for life, whether you realize it or not. It sets […]

Fast Company accidentally admits that plants thrive on carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that liberals claim will destroy the world… but it actually makes the world more GREEN
Even the mainstream media cannot deny scientific reality forever: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential for plant life. It is a key component of photosynthesis, the chemical process which plants depend on to stay alive. While it may not be well known, higher levels of CO2 are a key contributor to the massive global “regreening” that […]

Are industrial farming practices and geoengineering destroying the Earth’s soil?
Modern farming practices have been shown to increase the amount of aluminum in the soil available to plants, and reduce overall soil quality. When more aluminum is available to crops, it means the soil is more acidic. In humans, aluminum has been linked to causing neurological problems, such as Alzheimer’s disease. But could it be […]

Simple changes in conventional farming practices, particularly those that repair soil, could be the key to feeding the world
Not surprisingly, the promises that GMOs would save the world from hunger have failed to materialize. In addition to failing to make inroads in this serious issue, they’re also causing a slew of health and environmental problems. It’s clear that a different approach is needed, and it looks like one of the simplest solutions could […]

Natural cycles: Cover crops bring balance to ecology
University of Illinois researchers have found another reason to plant cover crops: It seems that migratory birds prefer to rest in fields with cover crops. “We think cover crops, such as cereal rye, likely provide migrating birds with more vegetation and a safe area to escape from the elements and from predators. Cover crops also […]

Agro-waste made from banana, pineapple, and watermelon able to remove cyanide from contaminated soil
Scientists have found a way to remove cyanide in cassava mill effluents (CMEs) that contaminate the soil. The study, published in the American Journal of Environmental Sciences, indicated that using organic wastes from certain fruits can also improve soil enzymes and enhance soil nutrients while eliminating cyanide in contaminated soil samples. The scope of the study included the […]

Growing vegetables sustainably is possible on a large scale without conventional fertilizer, with proper soil management
In this day and age, it is almost a given that you would need to use conventional types of fertilizers to achieve any success in growing food crops. After all, they are seen as necessary for promoting the growth of crops and minimizing the harm that can be caused by external factors such as pests […]

The hidden world of soil pathogens: Harmful microbes not only have to contend with a farmer’s chemical attacks but their microscopic neighbors as well
Many microscopic species of fungi and bacteria in the soil infect and damage plants. This makes them the enemy of farmers who use chemical pesticides to prevent or – at least – minimize damage to crops. In a study published in the journal mBio, researchers report that for these microscopic pathogens, an angry farmer isn’t […]
