HEALTHY SOIL - HEALTHY PLANTS, ANIMALS - HEALTHY PEOPLE

Soil regeneration farmers are using nature's patterns to revitalise depleted soils. By not ploughing, by maintaining a living root system and by continuously covering the surface, they create a suitable habitat for beneficial soil organisms. This diverse ecosystem is the key to healthy and sustainable agricultural soils and the survival of our civilisation.

Our association is largely funded by our members and their voluntary work. We would like to see this change, as there is an increased demand for the knowledge and experience we have gathered. We are also helping to spread regenerative agriculture by translating books and running a comprehensive education programme. Your support will contribute to the costs of organising these programmes and the running of our Association.

So that we can achieve our goals, We need you too!
All you have to do is donate 1% of your tax to the Soil Restoration Farmers Association.

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.

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...

The proven pathway of humus formation - what does the science show?

A little-known scientific paper published in 2016 highlighted the only experimentally proven physiological pathway for humus formation. Although the study lasted only 18 months and was not focused on agricultural technology, its conclusions...

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.
