Soil is Life – part II – Inspiration from a beautiful Italian Regenerative Farm

In this video, part 2 of the Soil is life series, Matteo Mazzola and Paola Archetti explain how they are building a probiotic agroecosystem above and below the ground on their farm overlooking Lago d’Iseo. By using compost, incorporating grazing animals and following intelligent agroforestry design principles, they have dramatically increased the soil’s microbial activity. Thanks to the abundance of beneficial microorganisms, the farm’s immune system has improved, making the plants and animals in the agroecosystem more resilient to disease and providing them with all the nutrients they need to thrive and produce healthy food.
