samedi 29 juillet 2023 • Durée 01:14:29

In this episode of In Search of Soil, we're talking to Italian soil Scientist Dr. Adriano Sofo to shed some light on the importance of soil macrofauna, earthworms, beetles, ants, and the like, and their roles in building healthier soil for more sustainable agriculture.

Dr. Adriano Sofo is an associate professor in the University of Basilicata in Matera, Italy. Cited more than four thousand times, his research interests include plant-soil interactions, biogeochemistry, and environmental botany. With a passion for educating, he believes that information dissemination is the key to creating a more sustainable and regenerative agricultural landscape.

The Science of EM (Essential Microorganisms) with Dr. Matthew Wood - ISOS S2 #9

samedi 22 juillet 2023 • Durée 01:02:48

In this episode of In Search of Soil, we're talking to one of the pioneers in developing probiotic technology, Dr. Matthew Wood, to shed some light on what efficient microbes (EM) are, what they do to the soil, and how our soils can benefit from adding them.

Dr. Matthew Wood earned his Bachelor's degree in Soil and Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Missouri-Columbia and his Master's degree working under Dr. Teruo Higa from the University of Ryukus in Okinawa, Japan. His work in probiotics resulted in global engagements in many fields including microbiology, agriculture, and human health. In 2004, he founded SCD Probiotics where they develop and commercialize consortia fermentation technologies for multiple industries.

Compost with Randy Ritchie - ISOS S1 #10

samedi 22 avril 2023 • Durée 01:49:15

We've heard and talked about compost and compost teas. We've also discussed all the different ways to make your own compost and compost teas. But say that you just don't have the time to make your own - you'd probably just hop on over to the municipal composting site, grab a truckload, and go home. How can you tell that the compost you got is actually good quality compost? Does it matter?

Our guest, Randy Ritchie, will talk about exactly that topic and what it all means in this episode of In Search of Soil!

From working as a landscaper in his design in build business, Randy noticed the need for better, more environmentally-conscious steps in his business. Then, when he met Alan York and the biology in his compost, Randy felt the tug of working with the soil and moving on to composting.

Soil Carbon with Dr. Bruno Basso - ISOS S1 #9

samedi 15 avril 2023 • Durée 02:04:31

Carbon sequestration, carbon emission, carbon building. Soil carbon, organic carbon, and accessible carbon. They all keep popping up here and there in the farming space, but what exactly do they all mean? With carbon being thrown around everywhere, it's understandable to get confused somewhere along the line.

This is why today's guest, Dr. Bruno Basso of Michigan State University, will shed some light and hopefully clear up the mist surrounding carbon, its different forms, and how significant it is when it comes to agriculture and environmental sustainability.

Dr. Bruno Basso is a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Michigan State University. An internationally recognized agricultural scientist, Dr. Basso co-founded CiBO Technologies, where they aim to incentivize farmers for applying environmentally sustainable practices.

Soil Nutrients with Dr. Buz Kloot - ISOS S1 #8

samedi 8 avril 2023 • Durée 01:34:02

What if your soil test just came back, and suddenly someone tells you that your soil's nutrient values will stay consistent regardless of whether or not you put amendments? Understandably, you would find that hard to believe. You'd probably ask, where is it coming from, and where does it go?

Today, we're talking to Dr. Buz Kloot of Soil Health Lab to discuss just that.

Dr. Buz Kloot began his professional career as a chemical engineer. He then joined the University of South Carolina in 1999 and has since worked on various agriculture and environmental quality projects. His passion for soil health brings him to work closely and collaboratively with farmers.

Mycology with Peter McCoy - ISOS S1 #7

samedi 1 avril 2023 • Durée 02:13:19

One of the members of the soil ecology that is mentioned on a generalized note is fungi. Although we recognize their importance, there aren't a lot of specifics tied to mycology—and that's because there's still a lot we don't know about them. As a branch of science, mycology is still relatively new, and a lot less studied compared to other fields of study.

Today, mycologist Peter McCoy sheds some more light on fungi from a deeply mycological perspective.

Peter McCoy is a mycologist and mycology educator with 17 years of experience. Known for mushroom cultivation and mycological remediation, he authored Radical Mycology, a 650-page book of condensed knowledge about fungi. He also created Mycologos in response to the growing need for accessible mycological education.

Nitrogen Fixation with Dr. Michael Miille - ISOS S1 #6

samedi 25 mars 2023 • Durée 01:46:10

With how far science has come, we're still at odds in the face of finding the holy grail of agricultural research: finding nitrogen-fixing bacteria that affiliate with non-legumes. The search has been going on for 50 years with no luck.

And this is where synthetic biology comes in. Synthetic biology strives to engineer beneficial microbes to give growers the same, or better, optimized solutions that traits and chemicals do.

So if we can't find a naturally occurring nitrogen-fixing bacteria to associate with non-legumes, why not engineer one? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Michael Miille, the CEO of Joyn Bio to tell us a little bit about the sci-fi-esque venture of engineering bacteria.
