This video will outline and explain the aspects of soil chemistry which sustains agricultural nutrient cycling. Soil biology is the key player in sustainable farming supporting soil chemistry and enabling nutrient cycling. Soil organic matter is the building block to support microbes and enhance soil chemistry.
Graham is the founding director of the Environmental Analysis Laboratory (EAL) at Southern Cross University, Lismore, Northern New South Wales, Australia, and now the senior manager of commercial and research services. EAL has been supporting sustainable farming for over 30 years and promoting all forms of soil management using the principles of biological, organic, regenerative farming.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focusing 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.

Great science work right at the start of the video. Flooding has nothing to do with increased construction and restriction of the water drainage. Brilliant work.
good source of information.
studying soil biology is mind blowing.
hope there will be available testing tool for it, which is affordable for a small farmers.
for growing crops. the only tool we have is our eyes and depends only to plants growth if plants died, we no idea whats inside the soil.
Wow....SO MUCH TO LEARN. ... THANK YOU FOR THE INFO..AND SO MUCH SOIL TO SAVE SIMPLY FROM EROSION ....ETC
You are very welcome
Thanks for the informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
A great presentation! The chemistry and physics detail reminds me of ag science lectures at uni. More of that empiricism please.
Yeah odd, considering dr elaine's ethos is that the biology will sort it out,
Great lecture about soil science. Thank you. I need masters scholarships is it possible?
Is there a flood that isn’t extreme ? Is there a heatwave that isn’t extreme ? In the past were the doughts less extreme ? What is extreme ?
I'm no expert but can't you feed a bioreactor inorganic nutrients to allow the bacterias etc to turn inorganic to organic nutrients????
This what happens when scientists involved. I run all trimmings and cuttings through a chipper and pile it up. Wet it. Mix a but of soil with it. Turn it occasionally with tractor. Maybe Limited manure. Done.
I’d appreciate if you can cite other’s work.
lets wait till we get a second one before we say climate caused it…. i mean lets not let a good la niña get in the way of a good story
So these minerals are leeched out over millions of years ? What does that mean ? Are you giving us a history of granite and slate bedrock ? Do we have to wait millions of years to get a little squirt of basalt from the earth ? What da’
