Delving into nutrient density
In the middle of the fertile Willamette Valley in western Oregon, farmer Bob Wilt walks the rows of his 75-acre organic blueberry farm critically plucking ripe fruit for analysis. What he’s looking for is not sweetness or pest resistance (though these factors are certainly involved), but the fruit’s nutrient density. Thus far, his berries measure up. Test.

SOIL REMINERALIZATION AND THE CLIMATE (RUSSIAN)
РЕМИНЕРАЛИЗАЦИЯ ПОЧВ И ОКРУЖАЮЩАЯ СРЕДА
За несколько тысяч лет эрозия истощила плодородные слои почвы во всем мире. Для нормального роста растениям, так же как и нам, необходимо постоянное поступление минералов - кальция для прочности тканей, железа для усвоения кислорода и т.д.Растения, произрастающие на истощ...

Teaching children how to remineralize trees in Mexico
On June 4, RTE Mexico coordinator Jorge Vilaseñor recently gave an educational workshop to children in Zapopan, Jalisco and Mexico. The children were given lots of information about the importance of remineralization of the soil so that our forests, our agriculture, and our health can be regenerated. They were taught how to remineralize the soils and trees, using a source of calcium and a hard-silicate rock dust which provides a broad spectrum of minerals and trace elements. They were also taught about seed ...

Stonemeal Technology: Changing the Poverty Scenario in Brazil
Suzi H. Theodoro, Othon H. Leonardos, Kleysson G. Rego and Eduardo L. Rocha
ABSTRACT
Stonemeal technique within an agro-geo-ecological, technological context was introduced to a specific group of family farmers in the state of Bahia, northeast of Brazil as part of a partnership between the University of Brasilia and the Bahia State government. The group was composed of ‘afrodescent’ farmers who live in isolated communities. The ’Cio da Terra Project’ aims at improving soils and agricultural ...

Зачем нужна реминерализация?
В этом непреднамеренном эксперименте в нашем саду мы реминерализовали почву на одной из грядок мелкодисперсным гранитным осадком из скважины, расположенной на нашем участке. Морковь, выросшая в обработанной таким образом почве - слева на фотографии. Справа, для сравнения, морковь, ...
