RE-VISIONING THE LANDSCAPE: An Ecological Approach
March 6-8, 2008
MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts
Full Spectrum Mineralization
David Yarrow, Champion Trees
Trace minerals are essential for plant health and soil biology, but these minerals are often depleted by chemical fertilizer use, pollution and acid rain. David Yarrow describes how soil health is compromised by mineral depletion, and the benefits of incorporating trace minerals and sea minerals into landscape settings. He also looks at ...

Rocks for Crops
Rocks for Crops
From humble beginnings in Tanzania in 1984 to the establishment of a course at the University of Guelph, to the official opening of an Agrogeology Centre in Indonesia, the field of agrogeology is gaining wider global interest and exposure. The first Rocks for Crops International Conference took place in Brasilia, Brazil on November 7-14, 2004. Visit their website, Rocks for Crops , for abstracts of papers from the conference. Remineralize the Earth is working on the development of a large research database that will include agrogeology research from all ...
The Eco-Logic of Vermiculture
Each organism has a role and occupies a niche. In fact, shown by the Russian ecologist, Gause, about 30 years ago that each niche has only one organism with its specific food. If another organism is introduced, it either gets wiped out or creates its own micro-niche by living symbiotically with the first, for example, by using the waste matter of the first organism as food.

1994 USDA Symposium on Remineralization
Soil Remineralization An Essential Environmental Action
On May 24, 1994, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (Beltsville, MD), the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) (Washington, DC), the National Stone Association (NSA) Washington, DC), and the National Aggregates Association (NAA) (Silver Springs, MD) cosponsored a forum on "Soil Remineralization and Sustainable Agriculture" at the USDA Agricultural Research Station in Beltsville, MD. That forum could represent a milestone marking officially-sanctioned efforts to implement long overdue action of fundamental importance to ...
Minerals for Aging Soils
By Dr. Lee Klinger, Ph.D.
Now that I've passed the half-century mark I feel fortunate to be only slightly worse for the wear as my body copes with getting older.
Nonetheless, lingering aches in my joints and bones are telling signs that my body is aging. These aches come as no surprise of course. Scientific studies indicate that as organisms grow old their metabolisms slow down and their tissues acidify. Acidification leads to a departure from the chemically balanced, neutral pH state preferred by most living systems, around pH 7. I'm quite aware that the buildup of ...
How to Remineralize the Earth: Getting vital nutrients back into our soil
We know that "traditionally grown" fruits and vegetables we see in supermarkets are both lacking in vitamins and minerals and have added chemicals from fertilizers and pesticides. These toxic additions in particular fueled the demand for organic produce but did not completely address the lack of nutrients.
Going back in time, our soil was rich with minerals, which found their way into our foods in healthy doses. Mineralized soil grew healthier crops providing the vitamins and minerals we now need to take as supplements. Additionally, hardier plants were capable of ...
