Home - Soil Renewal Farmers' Association

Our goal

The aim of the TMG Association is to adapt the system of regenerative agriculture in Hungary and to enable its more successful and efficient application.

Our mission

Practical demonstrations and knowledge transfer on soil renewal and soil health.

Visions

Green Hungary in winter and summer! Together we will prevent the desertification of the Carpathian Basin.

Our activities

Soils must be regenerated!

In order to pass on our national treasure, our farmland, to our descendants in better condition, we should follow the principles of regenerative farming with a renewed approach. We need solutions which, in addition to ensuring the sustainability of farming and food production, take into account the environmental, ecological, environmental and climatic properties and role of soils. Regenerative agriculture is a farming approach that focuses on restoring the health of soils degraded by intensive agriculture.

Certification

CEREG is an international certification scheme for regeneration, open to all.

No-till for beginners

No-till for Beginners is a must-read for any farmer who wants to break away from the old, familiar, soil-exploiting way of growing crops.

Why is it good for lay people?

Regenerative agriculture provides healthier, more nutrient-dense and residue-free food, while reducing the impacts of climate change and improving ecosystem resilience. It also contributes to increasing soil water retention, which reduces drought damage and flooding, thus ensuring a more stable food supply.

Why is it good for farmers?

Regenerative agriculture improves soil health and fertility, increasing productivity and reducing costs. It also helps reduce drought and inland water damage and reduces the use of fertilisers and pesticides, making the farm more profitable.

Knowledge base

Soil structure

A pile of rubble or a livable habitat? Soil structure is one of the most frequently mentioned yet least clearly understood concepts in agriculture.

The secret of living soil

Efficient nutrient uptake pathways in regenerative farming Soil life plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycling and uptake by plants. If soil biota is damaged or weak, plants do not have access to...

Regenerative economic and social models

We were pleased to see that the topic of regenerative economy was included in the „Research with Social Impact” section of the Corvinus University of Budapest Scientific Student Conference, and a split first place was awarded to Várfoki...

Soil organisms are the most important allies of the careful farmer

Soils are being degraded faster than ever by two agricultural practices: tillage - especially deep ploughing - and the use of agrochemicals and fertilisers. The first destroys the soil structure, thus destroying the...

Water - the secret engine of soil life

Water is the most basic element of soil life. All organisms and living communities reach the point of failure when their water content falls below 40%. This is also true for soil microbial communities. The younger, more evolving...

REGE-FARMS (Erasmus+)

The European REGE-FARMS consortium aims to restore soil health and to support and train more than 300 farmers in the transition to regenerative farming. The Soil Restoration Farmers' Association (TMG) is an international consortium...

Partnership

Our partnership includes owners, domestic and foreign companies and organisations.

The Association places a high priority on collaboration and joint thinking with all market and professional actors who share the same commitment to regenerative principles and ecosystem restoration as our Association.

Through cooperation and joint thinking, an active approach to the conservation and renewal of the soils of the Carpathian Basin will become more effective.

The partnership is open to anyone who is committed to the future of agriculture, to the preservation of our soils and who can identify with the principles of regenerative agriculture.
