Whether you're a grower, consultant, researcher, or just curious about regenerative agriculture, this session offers a deeper appreciation for the biological processes that build healthy soil and grow nutrient-dense food.

What you'll discover in this webinar:

Identifying Beneficial Microorganisms: Learn how to recognize key players like bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes and understand their distinct ecological roles in the soil food web (9:14).
The Magic of Microbes: Understand how these tiny creatures decompose organic matter, cycle nutrients, and build vital soil structure (14:45).
Sourcing & Cultivating Local Microbes: Discover where to find these beneficial organisms in nature and the best practices for gathering local materials to create high-quality, aerobic compost (45:48).
Practical Q&A: Get answers to common questions about improving clay soil, managing root-feeding nematodes, assessing compost quality, and transitioning from artificial fertilizers (1:09:27).
This webinar emphasizes a holistic, biological approach to soil health, showing you how to work with nature to regenerate landscapes and reduce dependence on chemical inputs.

Don't miss the rest of the series!

Part 2 (Next Week): Learn how to multiply beneficial organisms through composting (50:20).
Part 3: See real-life applications of biological amendments in soil (52:43).
Part 4: Join our community house party for more sharing and learning (5:51).

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.
