We are our best when we collaborate. 🧪🦠🔬🧬🌍🍄
This mural about the invisible #soil #biodiversity in Moers(🇩🇪) resulted from the collaboration between my friend Dr. Arne Schwelm, the people from sci:moers and the Stiftung für Umwelt und Entwicklung under the artistic direction of #cokyone.
A mural designed by members of sci:moers under the artistic direction of urban artist cokyone (https://cokyone.myportfolio.com), after the biodiversity analysis in soil done by Dr. Arne Schwelm. The organisms are a Gastrotrichia, Tardigrade, a nematode, a ciliate, a testate amoeba and the fruiting body of a fungus.

New paper out on soil quality along an agroecological transition. Our findings show that transitioning to natural farming, even after just 2 years of removing pesticides and adding bio-inputs, had positive detectable effects on soil health.

Agroforestry combines trees, crops, and livestock farming on the same land.

Trees coexist with crops, offering valuable resources like fodder and fuel to farms. They also provide essential ecosystem services like shade and #soil conservation.

95 per cent of food production relies on soil. Healthy topsoil is vital but we are losing it at an alarming rate. We support landholders to switch to sustainable farming systems that build organic matter, increase biodiversity, improve water cycling and capture carbon.
