What is the Soil Food Web? | Soil Food Web School

What is the Soil Food Web? Let’s find out by looking at the organisms and microorganisms that make it up! ✅Access dozens of FREE soil science videos here 👉 https://bit.ly/3rwVz3u and learn about courses in soil health here 👉 https://bit.ly/3vqGKk2 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!

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 00:30: What Is The Soil Food Web 04:27 Outro #SoilFoodWeb #WhatIsTheSoilFoodWeb #OrganicFarming
