Yes, a balanced Soil Food Web really can suppress weeds! Plants typically called “weeds'' grow quickly, immediately produce seeds, then die after a very short life cycle. These weeds need nitrates to thrive. With a balanced Soil Food Web in place, nitrates are not readily available, so these types of weeds are suppressed.

Most other plants need some nitrates, but they require a lot more of another form of nitrogen called ammonium. A fungal soil biome creates an environment of pH7 or above, where the bacteria that generate nitrates can’t operate. So, the preferred plants thrive on the abundant ammonium in the soil while the weeds dwindle.

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.

Smallholder farmers in Africa contribute up to 70 percent of the food supply that we eat. These farmers suffer from several challenges including unpredictable climate, land overuse, lack of access to extension support, and post-harvest losses. However, smallholder farmers can increase their productivity and improve their livelihood by adopting sustainable farming practices through networks of geo-cooperatives and aggregator models that provide them with input credits, training, and links to markets. This talk focuses on how USAIFA is using web and mobile technology to help farmers in Nigeria increase their productivity and improve their livelihood by adopting sustainable farming practices.

In webinar 2, we’ll be joined by Soil Regeneration expert Didi Pershouse. She will be sharing a case study where 700,000 farmers have been using regenerative agriculture to rebuild their soils in India. This is an outstanding example of how farmers can thrive in harmony with nature. You’ll get to ask any questions you may have about this project, about soil regeneration, and how it can be applied to the land in your part of the world; this method will work for you at any scale and on any crop type.

Panelists:

Didi Pershouse is the founder of the Land and Leadership Initiative, and the author of two books: The Ecology of Care: Medicine, Agriculture, Money, and Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities, and the FREE FACILITATOR'S MANUAL: Understanding Soil Health and Watershed Function (https://www.landandleadership.org/soil-health-manual.html).

The four major groups of microorganisms in the Soil Food Web are bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. When in balance, these microorganisms act as nature’s operating system: they interact with each other and with plants to create abundant ecosystems. With a balanced biome in place, the soil can give plants all the nutrients they need, protect them from pests and diseases, provide resilience against drought and flooding...and even reduce the effects of climate change!

Plant biochemistry fundamentally influences the function of all terrestrial ecosystems on our planet. Root exudates fuel diverse communities of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protists, who, in turn, build structure and cycle nutrients. Dr. Adrienne Godschalx’s talk explores how predator-prey interactions in the soil shape the above ground interactions between plants and insects. Insects are not pests when they are unable to outbreak on highly-defended, nutrient-dense plants, and instead, are food for predatory insects and birds. Come learn how we can eliminate pesticides by restoring soil food webs.
