One of the things I most appreciate about organic agriculture is that the wisdom behind a farmer's symbiosis with the earth and her soil vastly influences their practice. This does not need to be taught; it is often a given. In conventional agriculture, there is a constant interplay between what harms the soil and what doesn't. Think about it. Only practices incompatible with nature need to reconsidered and reassessed. When harmful chemicals and unnecessary tilling are taken out of the picture, the soil thrives...and so does earth! This article underscores it. Thanks Jessy, for sharing this insightful piece!

Research review: "Unlocking the potential of black soldier fly frass as a sustainable organic fertilizer: A review of recent studies" Key findings: "The prospects of BSF frass in promoting a healthy environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the socioeconomic aspects of communities have also been highlighted. Overall, BSF frass offers an alternative approach that can be integrated with conventional fertilizers to optimize the cropping system."

people following the developments in organic farming knew this already (of course), but is great that this is confirmed by the lion's dens of industrial agriculture. It's another proof that I dustrial agriculture and promoted after WWII was not a smart move, but a major lack of insight, destroying precious arable land. Question is: how fast can er phase out artificial fertilizers? https://lnkd.in/e-G5muQZ .

Enhancing organic farming with circular fertilisers 🌱🚜      With synthetic mineral fertilisers not allowed in EU organic farming, farmers are turning to innovative solutions. Recovered struvite, compost, and biogas digestate are leading the way in addressing phosphorus deficiencies and improving soil health.   For more insights into these fertilisers and their role in sustainable agriculture, check out the new blog post from FER-PLAY EU. We are also looking forward to the upcoming report on the “Multi-assessment of impacts, trade-offs and framework conditions,” set to be published in September. 📅    https://lnkd.in/eFwQ7a-2     #OrganicFarming #CircularEconomy #SustainableAgriculture  https://lnkd.in/eFwQ7a-2 

https://lnkd.in/gbvHbPBR [..] Beneficial soil microorganisms could replace chemicals and pesticides by enabling the use of sustainable agricultural practices and supporting organic farming.1 The benefits of using microbial biofertilizers as plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) in crop production are well proven; however, their application in agricultural management is still limited.2 Soil microorganisms including rhizobacteria and fungi play a key role in soil health, biodiversity and productivity of natural and managed ecosystems.[..] Full Circle.

🌍 Boosting Carbon Sequestration Through Regenerative Farming 🌱 As climate-related events grow more frequent and severe, the need for effective carbon capture solutions is urgent. A recent study by Kansas State University highlights the potential of regenerative farming practices in boosting soil carbon storage. The research reveals that soil treated with organic manure or compost stored significantly more carbon than soil using chemical fertilizers or none at all. Using advanced technology, scientists found higher levels of microbial diversity in organic-treated soil, indicating healthier soil ecosystems. Dr. Ganga Hettiarachchi, the study's lead, explains that this is the first direct evidence showing how organic practices enhance soil health and carbon sequestration. Findings like these are pivotal in advancing sustainable agricultural methods that protect our environment while supporting a growing global population. At Natural Habitats, we are committed to sustainable farming practices, including RSPO-certified, Non-GMO organic palm cultivation. We continue to champion methods that not only benefit our planet but also drive meaningful change in agriculture. 🌱🌎 Read more about the study here: https://lnkd.in/eqy59BCi #RegenerativeAgriculture #CarbonSequestration #SoilHealth #SustainableFarming #Organic #NonGMO #NaturalHabitats #PalmDoneRight #RSPO #Sustainability

Treat things nice and they treat you nice. With our planet’s soils there is no exception. Utilizing organic content (biofertilizers or compost) pays in dividends for soil health. Synthetic fertilizers are awful for soil health as they annihilate natural microbes, enhance emissions and runoff that harm our planet, and often yield low quality crops. While I’m cognizant that industrial agriculture necessitates some synthetic supplementation, there needs to be a reevaluation as to when and how these products are applied. https://lnkd.in/eCRPgYUM #ag #biofertilizer #environment

Good news on Organic Farming helping to reduce carbon. We compost and use it to fertilize lawn and gardens. “After comparing their results, the researchers concluded that soil treated with manure or compost fertilizer stores more carbon than soil treated with chemical fertilizers or no fertilizer.”…….. “Published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, the study underscores the benefits of sustainable farming. It highlights how organic compost and manure not only support the health of the soil but also directly fight rising global temperatures through carbon sequestration.” #social #society #organic #Farming #OrganicFarming #nynjfoodguru https://lnkd.in/dWNFyK_p

🌱 Organic Farming Boosts Soil Health and Microbial Life A recent study published in Plants, People, Planet confirms that organic farming practices significantly enhance soil health, microbial diversity, and crop pathogen resistance. Researchers found that organic methods, free from chemical-intensive inputs, foster healthier microbiota, particularly in crops like winter wheat. Key findings include: • Higher microbial diversity in organic fields, especially by May during crop development. • Improved soil properties such as carbon, nitrogen, and organic matter content. • Increased resistance to pathogens linked to microbial richness. This research underscores the importance of organic farming in promoting sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and climate resilience. It’s a powerful reminder of the potential of nature-based solutions to reshape our food systems for a healthier planet. #OrganicFarming #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth #Biodiversity

What has been empirically known for centuries, continues to be true. Even after multiple and rigorous testing, regenerative farming has been proven to be better for the soil and you.
