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.

CEO Azadeh Farajpour with BioCircular Loop Podcast!

From Roots to Resilience: CEO Azadeh Farajpour shares her soil-driven journey, tackling degradation, boosting food security, and scaling betterSoil’s impact across Europe, Africa, and beyond. 

Why is “monoculture” as a productive agricultural system not sustainable in the long term?

Monoculture farming continues to be widely practiced today, even though it can lead to a range of negative consequences. Moving toward more diverse cropping systems can improve resilience to climate change, support long-term agricultural sustainability, and help reduce overall production costs.

betterSoil at Change Now 2026!

betterSoil joined Change Now 2026 in Paris from 30th March to 1st April to introduce Farm Assistant and show how healthy soil can help reshape our food and climate future. Read this article to discover more about Change Now 2026, and betterSoil's role at the event.  

Building Climate Resilience with Healthy Soils!

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.

Why Soil Health Matters Now More Than Ever!

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. 

Rethinking Agriculture in a Changing Climate

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. 

Evaluating Regenerative Agriculture Across Carbon, Water, and Ecosystems

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. 

A way out of problematic crop management practices: Diving into Crop Rotation Strategy for Sustainable Agriculture

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.  

Introducing betterSoil’s Farm Assistant: A tool for Crop Rotation Management (CRM) Strategy

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: 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.
