🍄Did you know fungi are ecosystem engineers playing a vital role in climate regulation?

These underground networks don’t just support plant growth—they’re key players in the carbon cycle.

- Sequester carbon directly into their biomass
- Working together, plants absorb CO2 and Mycorrhizal fungi store the CO2 in the soil
- Restore and maintain healthy soils for sustainable ecosystems

Research from SPUN scientists reveals that mycorrhizal fungi help move nearly 75% of Earth's terrestrial carbon into soils each year, the equivalent of more than a third of global fossil fuel emissions! 🙌

These microscopic powerhouses are essential for climate resilience. Let’s give fungi the recognition they deserve!

🌿Defoliation - Post Harvest - Think Biomin Copper

Biomin Copper is a nutritional systemic copper chelated with glycine which improves plant uptake and internal mobility, allowing low rates to be used efficiently and effectively. This makes it well suited to situations where copper sufficiency needs to be maintained without compromising soil health or microbial activity. 🦠

Biomin Copper:
- 17% systemic, bio-available copper via foliar
- Used nutritionally without impact to soil heavy metal levels
- Supports cane maturation, lignification and vine resilience going into dormancy
- Designed to support copper nutrition without contributing to soil accumulation

Mycorrhizae are carbon’s main pathway into the soil. 🌽

With 1.6 billion hectares of cropland globally they have the potential to sequester up to 81GtCO2eq within 15 years, cumulatively.

💡The potential is enormous, but it all starts with you, the individual farmer, and your decision to start sequestering via mycorrhizal fungi and decarbonise your soil. Depending on your crops, soil type, and carbon saturation levels, you could sequester 3-10tCO2eq/ha every year helping restabilise our climate, improve your soils and profitability.

🌱Mycorrhizae not only sequester carbon, but they also embed it into the soil’s geology within durable compounds that remain stable for millennia as Mineral associated organic carbon (MAOC) the scaffolding for biological regenerative farming.

Applications of Rootella mycorrhizal inoculants have been applied across the world. Join the team. 🚜

🌿More fertiliser doesn’t automatically mean better results — formulation determines efficacy and plant availability and that is what counts.

Mobilizer helps transform and store unavailable and locked up nutrients into a form that plants can easily absorb, boosting efficiency and reducing waste. 💪

- Increases nutrient availability for stronger, healthier growth
- Enhances soil health by supporting beneficial microbes
- Prevents nutrient loss, ensuring fertiliser is used effectively
- Helps avoid eutrophication of water systems
- Helps crops withstand stress, improving resilience in tough conditions

What happened to the food we eat? Think back to your grandma’s day when bread had only a handful of ingredients, none of which were harmful additives. Today, bread is filled with preservatives, chemicals, and synthetic ingredients that have detrimental effects on our health. The shift in what we eat has contributed to the rise of chronic diseases, with the majority of adults now struggling with health issues linked to these changes.

It's time to rethink the way we approach food. Clean, organic food with minimal additives not only supports a healthier body but also nurtures our environment. Chronic disease was rare in the past, but now, it’s a daily struggle for millions. The link between what we consume and how we feel has never been clearer.

The solution starts with us. By demanding healthier, cleaner food options, we can make a significant impact on our overall health. Let's commit to making better food choices, starting with what’s on our plates, and create a future where food is nourishing in every sense. 🍞🥖
