The Challenge We Face

Soil Depletion

Only 60 years of topsoil remaining globally

100 million hectares of productive land lost yearly

Rapid advancement of desertification

Dry ground with cracks in it

Biodiversity Loss

57% decline in insect populations since 1989

1/3 reduction in bird populations

Increasing water scarcity threats

dry ground with few trees

"The loss of human and animal health can be related directly to the soil"

— Professor William Albrecht, 1900's

The Natural Solution

Regenerative agriculture is nature's perfect system for plant nutrition. It's a living network of organisms that work together to:

Convert organic matter into plant nutrients

Create natural pest and disease resistance

Improve soil structure and water retention

Produce nutrient-dense, flavorful food

Here's what others have to say

Pierre gave me wonderful advise to revive my lawn. Not only is it greener, but also a thicker growth is seen. Thanks a mil!

Nicolene Laubscher

I recently bought compost extract from Living Soil to assist with a lemon tree and granadilla that struggled to get going. Barely two weeks after I applied the compost extract I could see a remarkable impact. Big shoutout to Pierre at Living Soil that knows how to organically bring plants to life!
