When we think of #food, we often aren’t paying attention to soil, but it’s actually what sustains our global food system.
Unfortunately, #ClimateChange, unsustainable farming practices & more are degrading soil around the world.
I don’t get to see each episode of Serving Up Science until they are published, but I like this new video. And I’m so glad they let me talk about soil health. https://youtu.be/FnOHwq6iSpk?si=5umwoGQU7DFrdhCD

Thanks for covering this important topic - I'm looking forward to watching this!

Charles Seber was using some of the planter systems that he made, to experiment with changing the soil grades.
It had to be done within the normal crop-rotation cycle process to avoid nutrient-depletion, but it worked well as a route towards generating healthy soil bacteria. 😁.
The planters operate by optimising the conditions for soil bacteria growth. 😁
