Case study: Restoring soil microbiome health across 50,000 hectares of degraded farmland

How a large-scale regenerative agriculture program in the U.S. Midwest restored microbial diversity by 45% across 50,000 hectares over 5 years, reducing synthetic fertilizer use by 30% and increasing soil organic carbon by 0.4% annually while maintaining crop yields within 5% of conventional baselines.

Microbial inoculants vs compost vs cover crops: soil health restoration approaches compared

Head-to-head comparison of three leading soil health restoration strategies. Microbial inoculants cost $10–50 per acre with yield boosts of 5–15% in responsive soils, compost applications at 2–5 tonnes per acre deliver $50–200 ROI per acre over 3 years, and cover crops reduce erosion 70–90% while building organic matter 0.1–0.3% annually.
