Regenerative practice
The people taking soil biology out of the laboratory and onto commercial acres, a compost heap, and occasionally a medical clinic.
Notes
Research does not change a landscape; a farmer changes a landscape. The records here belong to people whose contribution is the translation — turning a body of soil science into something that can be run on a working operation and defended to a lender.
The common thread is that each of them made the method cheap and legible. A set of principles a grower can hold in their head. A static compost bioreactor that needs no turning and produces a fungal-dominant inoculant. A clinical argument that the soil a food is grown in reaches the person eating it.
Claims in this part of the field frequently run ahead of the trial data, which is worth holding in mind on any page here, including this one.
