The Science
of Soil Fertility
in 3 Steps

In this first webinar, we’ll explore the fascinating microscopic world beneath our feet.

A single teaspoon of soil contains billions of microorganisms — but not all of them support plant life.

We’ll introduce you to the four key microbial players that form the backbone of healthy, functional soil, nurturing and protecting plants in exchange for foods produced by plants.

You’ll discover how to find them in your local area and learn how these organisms interact to drive essential regenerative processes such as nutrient cycling, soil structure formation, water retention, disease suppression, and carbon sequestration.

This webinar is packed with valuable insights—but don’t worry if it feels like a lot. There will be a live Q&A session, and you’ll have access to the replay afterward.

Once you’ve gathered the key groups of beneficial microbes from your local area, the next step is to multiply them so they can be used to inoculate the soil and restore biological function.

In this webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into the aerobic composting method developed by Dr. Elaine Ingham in collaboration with farmers from around the world.

. This approach supports the growth and reproduction of beneficial microbes while suppressing or eliminating pathogens.

We’ll cover how to create the ideal compost recipe and manage the key variables—temperature, moisture, and aeration—to promote optimal microbial activity.

On the panel will be experts in small and very large-scale compost production, along with PhD biologists, all trained by Dr Elaine.

In Webinar 3, we’ll be hearing from farmer Adam York, who has been using Biological Compost on over 100,000 acres in Illinois.

Adam grows soybeans and corn on his 10,000-acre family farm. He reported saving $100–150 per acre “straight out of the gate” after starting work with a Soil Food Web Consultant.

Since then, Adam has been supporting other farmers in his local area to transition away from chemicals – creating an entirely new revenue stream for the farm.

We can’t wait to hear how both businesses are doing, and to learn about the impressive results Adam’s client farmers are achieving.

We’re excited to invite you to this “open-door” event, where everyone is welcome to explore the themed breakout rooms and mingle.

This is a great opportunity to meet new people, make lifelong connections, and learn about the topics that matter most to you – whether that’s mycology, soil science, regenerative agriculture, composting at any scale, soil biology, or anything else related to the movement.

There’s no agenda and no pressure – feel free to just drop in and listen to the conversations happening in any of the ~15 rooms.
