The problem we're solving

Soil, Earth’s second-largest carbon sink, which holds 3 times more carbon than the atmosphere, has lost more than 50% of its carbon stores due to climate change related desertification and salination, and human-caused deforestation and agrichemical erosion. The effects include nutrient loss, polluted lands and water systems, and the degradation of nearly a quarter of our planet’s most important, non-renewable geo-resource, fertile soil, at a time when we are challenged to increase food production by 70% to meet the population demands of 2050.
