The accelerator workshop provided hands-on training in regenerative agriculture and soil ecosystem restoration, according to SFW. Evan Buckman, executive director of Soil Food Web Foundation, said the model farm’s existing natural farming practices and Save Soil’s outreach among farming communities made it an ideal setting for the international programme. Participants learned to prepare BioComplete compost using organic materials, monitor composting processes and regulate moisture and aeration. They also prepared biological liquid amendments, including compost extracts and compost teas. Microscopy sessions formed a key component of the training, allowing participants to examine soil, compost and liquid samples and identify microorganisms. Soil sampling and field assessments helped them understand how biological activity influences soil health and farm management. Download the TOI App.
