In 2017, an El Niño event left the operation’s soils flooded and yields jeopardized. The devastation led the owners to the Soil Food Web Approach.
Witness this incredible success story and learn how the soil health and farming operations were improved, achieving a reported 200% increase in yields over just two growing seasons. Experience this transition from conventional, chemical farming practices to regenerative agriculture through the use of compost extract, teas; cover crops; animal husbandry, and more.

----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

Thank you for sharing these videos. They have inspired me at an urban garden level (SF Bay Area). I have been transforming the front yard of my corner lot home into a garden space. I live directly below a Regional Park in the East Bay Hills. Not only do we get a large number of walkers but also wildlife. I'm trying to further my knowledge to do a balance of beauty and productivity while also improving the soil on my property. I have been trying to pass on what I learn to anyone that stops to ask (almost daily). By both showing my work openly in our front yard and educating others with all that I learn, I have already encouraged others to start gardening and move away from chemical fertilizers, participants, and herbicides.
I cannot begin to explain how much it's given back to me and I thank you for what you do share in your videos. I realize it's not a complete knowledge but it's enough to change the conversations around soil, urban/market/large gardens, farms, and beyond! I wish I could afford your full course but I have been sharing your channel within online comment sections as well as in person.
I am doing the same in my village in Scotland
My Sons/Daughters, savor every minute of this time of gardening! It is a truly delightful time for you. Don't forget this. Many blessings to everyone everywhere.
Very nice.
Felicitaciones al equipo de AgroPiura y Terraforma por tremendo reto que tomaron y también a Dr. Elaine por el desarrollo de las ideas. Me da mucho gusto que esta filosofía de producción regenerativa se empiece a tomar en serio en nuestro Peru.
Can I come work for you Dr. Elaine?!?! Soil science and Reg. Ag. is the Revolution of not our decade but Century! (Arguably Millennia)
@Jon McCroskey Please feel free to send us an email to info@soilfoodweb.com for more information
It starts with composting and partnering with Life. Well done SFW!
Honestly I'm wondering why the changes takes so long. Just do the work and get the results. No problem that I see. Great blessings to everyone everywhere.
Brilliant documentary! Fantastic detail and a rich explanation of the multi-step process of converting a conventional farm with depleted soils to an organic, regenerative farm in only a few years. Impressive and so educational!
We're so glad you enjoyed! It brings the Soil Food Web School great joy to introduce people to this work, and this documentary really shows how consultants and farmers can work together to make a more regenerative future for us all!
Vixio ini bagus dan menginpirasi masyarakat
Hopefully be part of the team soon, finish my HND this year and then start the soil food web course. Over the last 3years keeping up to date with webinars has giving me so much knowledge that I need more, this is how we save our people, planet, and economy since it matters so much to politicians. The community spirit that is built around rebuilding has always been a driving force, the fact we are now putting our time into producing food with nature brings great hope in the monoculture world 🙏
We hope you can join us as well! The more people with this knowledge, the more we can actually make an impact on the planet!
A wonderful video. I love seeing people thrive while building soil. I have a little 9 acre property. We raise chickens, ducks, geese and an occasional pig or 2. We have never used chemicals for that reason. To see it done on a large farm is awesome.
Great video. So encouraging to see farmers adopting regenerative agriculture and getting such great results.
This is great! 👏🌞
Consider the temperature between the soil and canopy and its relationship to mealybugs
Awesome, and well done!
My soil is all sand. Water table is high fortunately but the ground is bone dry. I’m attempting a succession method with animal rotation and Biochar amendments to improve 10 acres. Right now I’m watering a small section every day and just doing that has amazing results.
I’m going to put down a ton of rye and other drought tolerant plants.
I’ve planted a bunch of comfrey seeds that I hope I get at least one plant from. Comfrey would change everything

Good work on your land. Comfrey works best if you can find roots to purchase or dig up from a friend! Once they are established... they can take over, but also make great biomass/inputs for compost or mulch.
Thank you
Great little study adn example!
Tienen el documental en español por favor?
One question: where do they get their water from? Aquifer? If yes, what do they do to replenish the groundwater resources? Do they have rain water harvesting structures in place? Otherwise it will only be a temporary solution whatever they do with the soil...
I want to do the ecosystem restoration bundle so bad, I cannot wait to be able to afford the course.
Dear aishawilliams5933; how much Is the course you write about? (Time and money?)
Email us at info@soilfoodweb.com, @aishawilliams5933, we can work with you to get access to the course.
Get books!!!!! Take notes !!!!!!! Volunteer to help others do this !!!!! Many ways to learn. Blessings everyone.
@@MissBetsyLu no one does it in my country. No one else teaches soil microscopy , Im taking the class.
What was the chemical sprayed near the end of the video. Using the tractor and the worker completely suited up 12:03
Wow great practice I loved it when they brought in the sheep to deal with weed undergrowth of the vine and at the same time they are fertilising the soil with their manure. Great video thank you.
What? Terraforma in the Philippines? Wooo. Please send me contact details!!
