The Quality and
Integrity of the
feed we
produce on farm
is a result of the
way we manage
Our Soils.

Conclusions
• Soil management has a direct impact on the Integrity of food.
• Soil biology and Plant Diversity will build Resilience and Efficiency in our farming systems
and increase the Nutrient Density of food.
• Massive opportunity to Multiply Soil Biology using compost and foliar feeds.
• Plants grown in biological soils are Less Prone to Disease and Pest attack.
• Soluble fertilizers and chemicals will Shut Down biological functions, reducing the nutrient
density of food.
• 1st generation GM technology is Mummifying soil biology, burning off organic matter and
producing Empty Calories that can not feed the world.
Biological Farming is the Future

Recommendations• Know your Base saturation levels and adopt a fertiliser policy.
• Feed and nurture Soil Biology as a priority.
• Use Plant and Soil Microbe Diversity to improved feed quality and build
Resilience in our soils and farming systems.
• Maximise on farm manures to make Live Mineral Rich Fertilizers.
• Collaborate with Arable Farmers to secure our future.
• Question the integrity of any bought in feeds.
Biological Farming Can Out Perform Chemical Agriculture And Produce Higher Integrity Feed.
