Soil is Life - part II - Inspiration from a beautiful Italian Regenerative Farm

In this video, part 2 of the Soil is life series, Matteo Mazzola and Paola Archetti explain how they are building a probiotic agroecosystem above and below the ground on their farm overlooking Lago d’Iseo. By using compost, incorporating grazing animals and following intelligent agroforestry design principles, they have dramatically increased the soil’s microbial activity.
