The Soil Solution organisation is committed to protecting and rejuvenating soils to create good conditions for plant growth. The Soil Solution understands that the restoration of arable land can have a multifaceted impact on the environment. By restoring soils they aim to improve food security, biodiversity, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and counteract desertification. To achieve this goal, The Soil Solution has produced a new innovation; harnessing the power of oyster shells to increase fertility in soils. Oyster shells’ chemical profile allows them to function as a liming material that can improve plant growing conditions. The success of this innovation would allow farmers to take responsibility for their land’s fertility, reduce usage of imported agricultural inputs, and improve farmer’s livelihoods.
