REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTUREREGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTUREREGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

Healing the Planet from the Ground Up!

Nature Does It Best!

   FINALLY, THERE'S A NATURE-BASED SOLUTION

for organic agriculture that outperforms, outproduces, and outpaces the conventional

agrochemical industrial systems! This new approach to farming is called "regenerative organic

agriculture", which is designed to quickly cleanse and rebuild the soil's biological foodweb. Our nonprofit is fully dedicated to creating educational learning centers to assist farmers, ranchers, landscapers, and home gardeners discover how to implement these new regenerative systems - which will dramatically increase the productivity, reduce input costs, detoxify the soil, improve the water holding capacity, & 

pull airborne carbons back into the soil. Our organization will provide highly trained ag specialists 

to work directly onsite with growers to quickly and profitably make the regenerative transition!

WELCOME TO THE LIVING EARTH FOUNDATION

We Make it As-Simple-As-Possible to Make the Regenerative Shift!

INTRODUCING THE LIVING EARTH FUND

     The Living Earth Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that has created a special scientific and educational fund with the sole purpose of making regenerative agriculture the primary means for food production. As a start, the Living Earth Fund will provide financing to create:

  • REGENERATIVE LEARNING CENTERS strategically placed to provide educational and training services to assist farmers, ranchers, landscapers, & home gardeners discover how to effectively implement new regenerative microbial systems – which will dramatically increase the productivity, reduce input costs, detoxify the soil, improve the water holding capacity, and pull airborne carbons back into the earth. These centers will also serve as the operational headquarters for our
  • HIGHLY SKILLED FIELD SPECIALISTS to work side-by-side with farmers & ranchers to provide hands-on guidance for quickly and profitably making the transition to regenerative organic practices. As each farm site is different, these onsite specialists will also serve as intermediaries working directly with Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web
  • BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH TEAMS to determine the best courses of action based on climate zones, nutrient density, soil quality, crop criteria, and other pertinent variables. Each agrarian site will thus have hard-data testing and documentation showing the cost savings and productivity results. Our nonprofit will initially provide all these training and research services FREE OF CHARGE for qualifying applicants for the first three years of regenerative transition - until higher demands progressively warrant at-cost servicing fees. Living Earth will also sponsor frequent
  • REGENERATIVE DEMONSTRATION TOURS of growers that have successfully transitioned to basic regenerative agricultural practices. Some demonstration sites will display simple monoculture organic transitions, while others will showcase prototype models for optimizing soil health, maximizing biodiversity, and yielding nutrient-dense premium foods.  

     OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE is to assist conventional farmers and ranchers in replacing highly impactful agrochemical dependencies with highly beneficial microbial systems that improve both the organic health of the ecosystems and the profitability of their agricultural operations. We seek to make these regenerative organic transitions AS QUICKLY AND PROFITABLE AS POSSIBLE!

Soil Solutions for Climate Change

It's Time to Return the Airborne Carbons Back into the Earth Where it Belongs!

Small is Beautiful!

     For too long, agrochemical farming has controlled the primary means of food production despite the ill-health effects that it has on the families, the communities, and the environment. More and more farmers are being squeezed out because they can't afford the high operational & mechanization expenses with such low profit margins. These smaller farms are systematically being marginalized and replaced by the agro-industrial conglomerates. 

     Our nonprofit organization is fully committed to restoring the viability of the family-owned farms and ranches by providing them with the educational tools and resources for dramatically improving the resilience and productivity of their soils. STEP ONE is creating a network of strategically placed learning centers for introducing these new regenerative systems that are having enormous success for growing our foods, cleansing our ecosystems, and restoring the climatic balances. 

The New Circular Economy

      Paul Hawken, the renowned environmental expert, submits in his

latest best-selling book, Regeneration, that over 98% of businesses are based on “degenerative” practices that are contributing to the climate crisis and depletion of natural resources. He predicts that most businesses IN THIS GENERATION will become “regenerative”!

     This conclusion is based on the burgeoning regenerative move-ment that links stewardship, biodiversity, justice, fairness, a living wage, and human dignity with renewable economic practices that promote a clean and resilient environment – which will be a far more productive and profitable approach to doing business than the old suppressive modes of the dominance paradigm.

Regeneration in This Generation!

    In order to create a cleaner & healthier environment, it’s important that our sciences shift gears and learn how to enliven, rather than suppress, nature’s organic designs. We now know innovative ways of activating regenerative microbial cultures to cleanse and restore our ecosystems. Once agrarians discover that the new regenerative agricultural systems are clearly more productive and profitable, we anticipate that organically grown foods will steadily become less expensive than chemically grown foods - thus making the highly impactful suppressive systems antiquated and obsolete!

Healing the Planet from the Ground Up!

     The widespread use of toxic agrochemicals has been steadily destroying the microbial cultures that keep airborne carbons in check. It is estimated that if JUST 20% of farmlands switched to regenerative ag practices, it would be enough for the cleansing microbes to sequester airborne carbons back into the soil to reach sustainable levels! Rather than costing $TRILLIONS in carbon taxes, these new regenerative systems will CREATE NEW JOBS AND BOOST OUR ECONOMIES by improving the quality and affordability of our foods, while simultaneously helping to restore climatic balance. Addressing the root cause of global warming thus resides in our ability to live and do business in alliance with nature.

NATURE'S OWN ORGANIC SOLUTIONS

HOW IT WORKS     

     A handful of healthy, living soil will contain billions of microbes. It should be noted that soils with an abundance of mineral nutrients - such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium - would be completely sterile without the presence of microbes. It’s important that soils have BOTH, healthy amounts of nutrients and microbial life, for the plants to have optimum growth and productivity!

      Most nutrients simply cannot be absorbed directly by the plant root systems. Microbes are able to digest and excrete many of these nutrients that the roots can absorb. They are so essential that the plants excrete nutrients through their root systems called “exudate” that attracts the microbes directly to the roots’ surface.

     This creates a truly win/win, symbiotic relationship for both the plants and the microbes. Feeding the soil thus means restoring the beneficial microbes back into the topsoils and nourishing them with premium organic fertilizers so that the plants can thrive & flourish – and thereby produce the healthiest, most nutritious foods possible!

"Land Use is the Only Way to Draw Down Carbon." -Paul Hawken

Shane Plath, Owner of Largest Organic Banana Farm in South Africa

     "Our farm was in serious trouble, but after implementing the soil food web approach we increased our yield by 150% in a single season. In addition, we were very successful to repeat this approach on different soils at different farms achieving excellent results. We also cut many input costs such as ferti-lizers by at least 60%. We continue to monitor and move our soils to a much better place, production continues to increase while many other benefits become apparent such as reduced disease, improved crop resistance to cold and/or heat, improved drainage, reduced soil salts along with better water holding capacity. It also improved the taste and has better shelf life."

Dr. David Johnson, Renowned Soil Scientist

      "The soil food web approach is an effective and viable means of rapidly regenerating agricultural soils, enabling farmers to operate without the use of chemical inputs, thus protecting the world’s waterways, insect, and animal populations. Restoring the soil food web to agricultural soils restores productivity and profitability to agriculture and results in substantial levels of carbon sequestration, and has the potential, if implemented on a global scale, to return atmospheric carbon to the safe level as identified by the Intergov-ernmental Panel on Climate Change." 

Gina McCarthy, First White House National Climate Advisor

     October 8th, 2021: "By protecting our ecosystems, we strengthen the power of our soils, our gasses, and our trees to trap carbon pollu-tion and help our natural systems to build up our resilience against the climate impact that we know that we are already facing. Taping into these natural climate solutions will protect public health, they will protect us against climate impact, they will promote biodiversity and yes, they will GROW OUR ECONOMY!"
