Food Gardens, Living Soil & Regenerative Growing

Growing healthier communities by restoring soil, supporting home gardens, and producing nutrient-dense food.

This group brings together people working to improve food quality and environmental health through better soil practices, regenerative gardening, and small-scale food production.

Participants include gardeners, soil specialists, farmers, compost experts, microbiology enthusiasts, educators, and companies developing products that support living soil ecosystems. Topics include microbial soil health, mineral balance, compost systems, regenerative agriculture, and the practical methods that allow individuals and communities to grow healthier food locally.

The group explores both traditional and emerging approaches to soil restoration, including microbial soil amendments, compost biology, mineral balancing, and products that support soil regeneration such as those developed by companies like Terraganix.

Discussions may include:

• Building healthy garden soil using compost, microbes, and minerals
  • Microbial soil inoculants and regenerative soil amendments
  • Raised beds, backyard food production, and urban gardening
  • Nutrient density in vegetables and grains
  • Soil testing and mineral balancing
  • Composting systems and soil biology
  • Water conservation and soil structure
  • Regenerative agriculture practices that scale from home gardens to farms

Participants may share practical experiences, demonstrations, and research that help communities grow healthier food while improving soil health.

Over time this group may support:

• Educational workshops and demonstrations
  • Garden tours and soil-building projects
  • Collaboration between gardeners, farmers, and soil scientists
  • Partnerships with local food producers and regenerative agriculture advocates
  • Community discussions on food quality, soil health, and sustainable agriculture

This group welcomes individuals who are actively working in this space or who have meaningful experience to contribute.
