BETTER SOIL & BETTER FOOD
fields4ever, a global soil health action to recover food quality
fields4ever is a global initiative powered by Biome Makers for the conservation and monitoring of soil health by promoting the development of more sustainable and respectful agriculture management, not only to achieve quality soils but also quality food.
A Global Action Plan
fields4ever will analyze 1M acres over the 18 months to achieve the following goals:
- To unravel the soil health status of agriculture fields and to restore their health.
- To sequester 0.5M metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
- To reduce by 5M pounds the nutrient loss to the environment.
- To save 1M metric tons from soil erosion
We must act now
fields4ever provide agriculture players the tools to assess the best agricultural practices to improve
the productivity and healthiness of the soil.
A worldwide problem with a worldwide solution
Roughly 1/3 of the world´s arable land has been lost, while farmer’s economics remained lineal. It is time to react and move forward only with the most sustainable and productive farming practices for fostering our fields.
fields4ever initiative looks at the soil as a living ecosystem and utilizes the soil microbiome as bioindicator for soil health and productivity. Soil is a precious natural resource inhabited by a community of microorganisms the soil microbiome, a connected microbial network that reflects any modifications happening in-field.
GRANTS TO TAKE ACTION
We are committed to support and enhance the health and quality of our soils worldwide. Fields4ever opens the technology for functional soil assessment, provides soil health training and education, and activates the community with the Soil Squad.
