Yes—everything is connected when it comes to nutrition. Healthier soil biology translates to healthier, more nutrient-dense plants, which translates to a healthier and more secure food supply for people. But how do you take care of your soil biology properly? It's a balancing act. You have to look at each farm on a holistic level and take action based on that farm's needs. If you have questions about PhysaGro products, reach out to this episode's main presenter, Andy Dardini, at dardiniaw@gmail.com.
