The Power of Healthy Soil: The Foundation of Organic Farming and Your Health

The health of your food begins with the health of the soil. Organic farming practices nurture the soil, creating a vibrant ecosystem teeming with beneficial microorganisms.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO): https://www.fao.org/home/en/, healthy soil is essential for food security and plays a crucial role in:

• Nutrient Cycling: Healthy soil breaks down organic matter and releases nutrients that plants need to thrive.
• Water Retention: Healthy soil acts like a sponge, absorbing and storing water for plants during dry periods.
• Pest and Disease Control: A diverse microbiome in healthy soil helps suppress pests and diseases naturally.

How Healthy Soil Benefits Your Health:

• Increased Nutrient Content: Healthy soil can lead to more nutritious food for you to consume.
• Improved Gut Health: The diversity of microbes in healthy soil may contribute to a healthier gut microbiome, which is linked to overall well-being.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: Healthy soil practices can help reduce soil erosion and pollution.

At Pushti Organics, we prioritize soil health through practices like composting and cover cropping. These methods replenish nutrients, promote beneficial microbes, and create a thriving foundation for our organic crops.

By choosing organic, you're not just supporting your health, you're contributing to a healthier planet!
