  • Review of farming practices and cultivation methods
  • Mapping of regeneration opportunities
  • Promotion of carbon sequestration and biodiversity
  • Custom action plan with tailored recommendations
Roadmap Programme: Strategic Planning Phase

Based on the analysis, we develop a tailored sustainability strategy for your agricultural supply chain – including clear goals, a timeline, stakeholder involvement and a well-founded impact assessment covering costs, climate and biodiversity.

Fertile soils, species-rich forests and organic buildings are the magic triangle for a better world! Better soils grow better food, sustainably used forests promote biodiversity, and new opportunities for value creation arise for the local population. That is why my initiative Bauhaus der Erde and betterSoil are working together.

The "betterSoil" initiative has come at the right time! Our heartfelt thanks therefore go to Azadeh Farajpour and her team. It is good that the quality of soils is being discussed more intensively again, because conventional large-scale agriculture with a lot of agrochemicals has made many soils weak. Soils play an outstanding role in the preservation of biodiversity, especially by focussing on the often forgotten natural biocoenoses of soils.
