I ran into a great company called Cool Planet and asked spokesperson Jerry VanElderen about soil health and his product. Recently, the concept of soil health has gained widespread attention because it promotes profitable farm practices and positive benefits for the environment. It seems like everyone is talking about soil health. So what is the big deal with soil health?

At times, soil has been overlooked, and seen merely as ground for holding plants. In fact, experts consider some soils in the West as 'Very Degraded' The reality is, farm productivity can be diminished due to degraded soil quality.

Soil health is the capacity of soil to function as a vital and living ecosystem to sustain plants – so if soil health is neglected, plant yield and quality can be diminished. Poor soil lacks structure, organisms and free air space

Good soil is alive with billions of microorganisms, and has the proper structure to hold water and nutrients

These attributes allow the soil to better absorb and retain water and nutrients for plants and to better protect against pests.

Good soil health can improve farm productivity, improve the long-term sustainability of soil -benefitting generations to come, and mitigate climate change. At Cool Planet, we see soil as the foundation for productivity
