Climate change is increasing the intensity of floods, droughts, and extreme weather, threatening global agriculture and food security. Yet, healthy soils offer a powerful solution. Acting as natural carbon sinks, they store carbon through plant and microbial processes while improving water retention, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. By investing in healthy soils, agriculture can shift from vulnerability to resilience, playing a vital role in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Historically, soil science navigated efficiently towards ensuring soil quality for the high-yielding crop returns and the immediate environment. However, the new set of issues, such as climate change, degradation of soils, and loss of biodiversity globally, brings attention to soil. Read this article to discover the concept of soil health and the legislation within the EU, focusing on soil health. 

Extreme weather is no longer an exception. It is becoming the new normal for agriculture. As droughts and heavy rainfall intensify, the traditional goal of maximizing yield under ideal conditions is no longer sufficient. The future of farming depends on building resilient crops and healthier soils. 

How far can regenerative agriculture shift environmental outcomes? Data from Germany shows credible potential for lower emissions, improved hydrology, and healthier ecosystems when soil functions are restored. 

The global use of fertilizers has increased from 27.4 million metric tons Magnesium (Mg) per year in 1960 to 273.4 Mg in 2020. The utilization of inorganic fertilizers at high doses has left the global soils at risk of degradation, affecting both farm yields and the surrounding water, air, and biodiversity. This article explores why sustainable practices like crop rotation matter more than ever.  

The food processors and manufacturers and 600 million small-scale farms worldwide are struggling with access to Crop Rotation Management (CRM) tools through digital applications. Discover how we at betterSoil are committed to bridging the gap between delivering sustainable farming solutions and everyone through the betterSoil Farm Assistant application.  

Regenerative agriculture is a gradual transformation, not a single measure. Based on studies by the DLG and BCG–NABU, this article explains the stages of development and the measurable benefits for soil health, the efficiency of input use, and the long-term resilience of agricultural operations.

With 2030 fast approaching, global challenges like hunger, climate change, and safe drinking water demand urgent solutions. Explore how betterSoil is driving innovative soil strategies to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and a sustainable future through direct action.  

Space technologies are increasingly shaping how we understand ecosystems on Earth. At the Green Space Center BW Dinner & Dialogue 2026, betterSoil joined fellow innovators to explore how satellite data, soil science, and collaboration can turn space insights into real-world impact. 

In 2025, betterSoil moved between policy rooms, global stages, and real-world projects, always with one question: how do we make soil fertility measurable, investable, and scalable? Here’s our year in people, places, and progress, ending with a moment we won’t forget.

Europe’s soil is reaching a breaking point. With erosion, compaction, biodiversity loss, and climate stress intensifying, regenerative agriculture offers a solution rooted in science, not ideology. Here are the key myths and facts you need to know.

The food ecosystem is being reshaped by rising costs, stricter regulation, unstable weather conditions, and growing calls for sustainability. Farmers face mounting pressures, yet these challenges could also spark a needed transformation toward more resilient agriculture.

In October 2025, betterSoil joined the SCEFAB Founders Lab in Senegal to coach 30 young entrepreneurs from Germany, Ethiopia, and Senegal. Together, they explored how circular economy in agriculture and soil health can inspire business ideas that make a real impact.

Soil is fast becoming a climate asset. About one million people (online and in present) watched Azadeh at the Climate Change Summit 2025 in Bucharest. With betterSoil, they explored how soil health can reduce corporate climate risks, strengthen agrifood resilience, and create new opportunities for sustainable value creation.

Beneath Europe’s fields, invisible armies of microbes drive soil health, nutrient cycling, and crop resilience. As seasons shift, so do their roles: from spring’s nitrogen-fixing bacteria to autumn’s organic matter decomposers. Discover how these microbial marvels are revolutionizing agriculture.
