Rapidly Rebuild Your Soil Health Part 3: How to Kickstart Soil Health With Beneficial Fungi

In this webinar we go over 3 steps to rebuild your soil health with beneficial fungi! ✅Access dozens of FREE soil science videos here 👉 https://bit.ly/3rwVz3u and learn about courses in soil health here 👉 https://bit.ly/3vqGKk2 In this webinar, we look at the 3 steps you can take with beneficial fungi to rebuild the health of your soils. The process starts by locating and gathering beneficial microorganisms from your local area. The second step is to multiply the beneficial microorganisms using the close-control, aerobic composting method developed by Dr. Elaine Ingham. This ensures that many pathogens are eliminated and that you get a good balance of the 4 key groups of microorganisms needed in a healthy soil. In step 3, we apply the beneficial microorganisms to the soil in either solid (compost) or liquid (teas/extracts) form - depending on the context. Once the organisms are back in the soil, it is imperative that regenerative methods are adopted, to ensure that the soil biome is protected. Panelists: Adam's passion for agriculture emerged in 2008, during his three months of volunteer work on organic farms in New Zealand. His time in graduate school cultivated a broad vision for the restoration of living soils, as well as utilization of research and community engagement to address current and emerging global food production challenges. After completing his doctorate at Oklahoma State University in 2016, he was funded as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Instructor. During the past 5 years, Adam authored or coauthored 20 research publications focused on agroecology and plant-microbial symbioses. He also taught multiple undergraduate and graduate courses on global food security, restoration ecology, and environmental science. He joined The Soil Food Web School in 2021, following his dream to help regenerate soils, improve human nutrition, and protect our planet. Brian came from a background in IT and now runs a successful consultancy (Sprouting Soils) in California. The daughter of a forest engineer and an agronomist, science and nature were part of Dr. Carla Portugal’s childhood while growing up in Brazil. Her graduate school research focused on looking for the microbe's power to minimize human impact on the planet. At the Soil Food Web School, Dr. Portugal utilizes her expertise in research and teaching while also pursuing her interest in developing a greater understanding about the interconnection among the microbes in the soils and how nutrient cycling affects the nutritional value of plants. Dr. Ingham has advanced our knowledge about the soil food web for over 4 decades. Widely recognized as the world’s foremost soil biologist, she’s passionate about empowering ordinary people to bring the soils in their community back to life Follow the Soil Food Web Blog: https://www.soilfoodweb.com/blog/ Follow us on Instagram:   / soilfoodwebschool   Follow us on Facebook:   / soilfoodwebschool   ---------- 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. 00:00 Intro to topic and panelists 09:01 How Fungi Can Kickstart Your Soil 57:11 Q&A #SoilHealth #SoilRegeneration #SoiFoodWeb
