Die ganze Welt profitiert von besseren Böden!

>0Millionenlandwirtschaftliche Betriebe weltweit (FAO 2014)
~0MilliardeMenschen sind in der Landwirtschaft beschäftigt (2021)
>0%unserer Nahrungsmittel werden auf Böden produziert
0MillionenMenschen leiden an Hunger (2019)

betterSoil arbeitet daran Denkweisen zu ändern aber auch modernes wissenschaftliches Wissen in die Praxis umzusetzen und es mit jahrtausendealten Traditionen zu verknüpfen, welche wir indigenes Wissen nennen. Dies ist ein großartiges Beispiel einer generationenübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit, um eine Zukunft für kommende Generationen zu gestalten in der vielfältiges Leben auf einem gesunden Planeten möglich sein wird.

Fruchtbare Böden, artenreiche Wälder und organische Gebäude sind das magische Dreieck für eine bessere Welt! Auf besseren Böden wachsen bessere Nahrungsmittel, nachhaltig genutzte Wälder fördern die Biodiversität und für die Bevölkerung vor Ort entstehen neue Chancen der Wertschöpfung. Daher arbeiten meine Initiative Bauhaus der Erde und betterSoil zusammen.

Die Initiative “betterSoil” kommt zur richtigen Zeit! Unser herzlicher Dank gilt daher Azadeh Farajpour und ihrem Team. Es ist gut, dass die Qualität der Böden wieder stärker diskutiert wird, weil die konventionelle großflächige Art der Landwirtschaft mit viel Agrarchemie viele Böden schwach gemacht hat. Böden spielen eine herausragende Rolle für den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt, gerade durch das Augenmerk auf die oft vergessenen natürlichen Lebensgemeinschaften der Böden.

Regenerative Agriculture: Stages and Impact

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.

How betterSoil contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030?

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.  

From Space to Soil: betterSoil at the Green Space Center BW 2026

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. 

Recap 2025: A Year of Soil, Space, and Unexpected Allies

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.

Regenerative Agriculture: Myths, Facts, and Why Europe Needs It

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 Pressure Facing German Farmers

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.

Coaching the next generation: betterSoil at the SCEFAB Founders Lab in Senegal

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 and food in the climate crisis: betterSoil at the Climate Change Summit Bucharest 2025

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.

Microbial Marvels and Seasonal Dynamics

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.

Unlocking Soil Potential in Nairobi: Data-Driven Soil Solutions

In Nairobi, Azadeh (betterSoil) and Jess Price (Innana Global) visited the startup UjuziKilimo funded by GSMA to see their product, SoilPal in action. Already used by 30,000+ Kenyan farmers, the device delivers instant soil insights – boosting yields, cutting costs, and proving soil health tech is a game changer.

EU Soil Monitoring Law

Soil degradation costs the EU over €50 billion annually. The new law aims to save billions in lost yields, health, and climate resilience. The EU Soil Observatory now tracks 19 signs of soil health from erosion to biodiversity loss empowering farmers, communities, and leaders to act before it’s too late.

Soil as the Foundation for a Resilient Food Future

Healthy soils mean stronger harvests, cleaner water, and more resilient ecosystems. Programmes like ProSoil and Soil matters, Germany is showing that a fertile future can only be secured when countries work together. Soil protection knows no borders. 

EU Acts Against Soil Degradation in Europe

Europe is taking a data-driven path to restore soil health and secure food systems. With 19 soil indicators tracked by the EU Soil Observatory, new tools and projects are guiding action to fight degradation and build resilience against climate change.

How carbon farming strengthens the supply chain

As climate change disrupts farming, carbon farming brings resilience. Healthy soils absorb droughts and floods, deliver steady yields, and secure supply chains from field to factory benefiting farmers, businesses, and the planet alike.

Rooted in Earth, Powered by Space: Living Planet Symposium 2025

As part of the Green Space Centre, we support global startup collaboration in Baden-Württemberg. Our betterSoil Farm Assistant leverages satellite data, AI, and regenerative practices to help farmers make smarter, data-driven decisions for healthier soils and sustainable yields.
