Volcanic soil, belongs to a category of soils known as andisols and is derived from both volcanic lava and volcanic ash, both of which are rich in certain key nutrients, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorous,...

Could the key to a sustainable food system already be growing in the world's farms? Plant scientist Giles E.D. Oldroyd explores how a special quirk of soybean plants allows them to naturally partner with networks of fungi and bacteria to...

Humans have relied on fertilizers to grow their plants for thousands of years. But the production of synthetic fertilizers also requires an immense amount of energy that comes primarily from fossil fuels and therefore contributes to...

This video showcases the inspiring story of the Thompson family, who transformed a barren Scottish landscape into a fertile Garden of Eden by using volcanic rock dust as a natural fertilizer. Their discovery has attracted interest from...

For a good-looking garden in the spring, spend some time the summer before fertilizing your soil.

In this live-action program viewers will learn that Soil is the top most layer of earth, lying on top of a layer of bedrock. Soil is often black or dark brown to red, comprised of mixture of organic remains, clay and rock particles....

It explains the importance of soil to living beings. It talks about soil pollution, its causes, consequences and prevention.

Discover how ants play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by aerating the soil, recycling nutrients, and controlling pests. This video explores the various ways ants contribute to environmental balance, from soil...

In this video Paul Andersen describes the pros and cons of industrial agriculture including: monocropping, irrigation, and the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs.

There's two times more carbon in the earth's soil than in all of its vegetation and the atmosphere -- combined. Biogeochemist Asmeret Asefaw Berhe dives into the science of soil and shares how we could use its awesome carbon-trapping...

Crop physiologist Guntur V. Subbarao and his team have developed an antibiotic-infused strain of wheat that naturally combats harmful, fertilizer-eating bacteria -- a "monster" contributor to climate change. Learn more about how this...

Solving food shortages caused by droughts is a big challenge that may benefit from a tiny ally. Turns out that the microbes living in the soil around plants can give them a boost when water's scarce, which means more food for us, which...

Mars has a lot of the nutrients needed for plants to grow, but it also has some added extras, including toxic perchlorates. How will future missions overcome these challenges?

Everyone poops. But who wants to actually deal with it? Ecologist Sasha Kramer literally works with poop and thinks about it every day. She is helping to transform human waste into fertile organic compost for agricultural use in Haiti....

As populations have grown, farming practices have become more intensified to maximise crop yields and ensure we can feed the ever growing population. Fertilisers and pesticides are used on crops, and animals may be kept inside in more...

Preserving the environment and developing agricultural products that do not harm unintended targets are top priorities for many scientists and farmers, as well as environmentalists. It's a new era of crop management known as precision...

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air, however neither plants nor animals can take nitrogen directly from the air because nitrogen is so unreactive. The nitrogen cycles shows the movement of nitrogen through the environment. Nitrogen is...
