Why Is Soil Regeneration So Important?
The legacy we have created through industrial agriculture is that much of our so-called ‘soil’ is, in reality, biologically dead dirt. It is literally lifeless. Modern soil science provides insights into how to harness nature to fix this, and indeed, why we should.

Is Pink Himalayan Salt Better Than Regular Salt?
Pink Himalayan salt is extracted from the Khewra Salt Mine, one of the oldest and largest salt mines in the world and believed to have been formed millions of years ago from the evaporation of ancient bodies of water. The salt is hand-extracted and minimally processed to yield an unrefined product that’s free of additives and therefore more natural than table salt.

Diversity Of Soil Organisms
The vast majority of insects, up to 95%, are linked to the soil during their life cycle. Some lay eggs in the soil or use it as a substrate for overwintering. Due to very specific features of the soil as a habitat, insect larvae have made numerous adaptations to live in this particular environment.
