'59 Degrees Academy: the Soil Food Web'

07:00 Feb 4, 2022
'In this episode Octavia takes a look at the Soil Food Web.   The soil food web is a term given to the community of organisms living in the soil for all of or at least part of their lives. It describes a complex living system and describes the transfer of energy between the species in the soil food web ecosystem.   Modern farming practices can damage the soil food web, often destroying the delicate interactions between plants and their resident microorganisms. These practices are having devastating effects upon plant health, crop yields, soil stability and wildlife and are not currently sustainable.   At 59 Degrees we are paving the way forward for a healthier soil community. We believe that in order to promote healthy, happy plants, we need healthy, happy microorganisms.  We grow communities of these unique soil microorganisms that you can use directly in your soil and on your plants – from salad crops to mighty oaks. By adding this beneficial life to your soil you will transform the health of your plants.  For more information visit www.59degrees.se'
