🌱 Heading to Groundswell 2026? Come and find us at Stand A70.

The Agriton team will be at Groundswell for two days of conversations, demonstrations and practical discussions focused on one simple idea:

**How do we build healthier soils by working with biology instead of against it?**

Throughout the event we'll be sharing insights and experiences from across the regenerative agriculture, composting and food waste sectors, exploring topics including:

♻️ Food waste as a resource, not a problem
🌱 Bokashi and biological fermentation systems
🦠 Soil biology and nutrient cycling
🚜 Regenerative farming practices
🌾 Composting and soil improvement strategies
🏙️ Circular food and nutrient economies
🍎 Community and commercial food waste solutions

We'll also be hosting a series of live interviews with growers, farmers, composters and innovators who are helping to reconnect waste, food production and soil health.

Groundswell has become one of the most important events in the regenerative agriculture calendar, creating space for honest conversations, practical learning and sharing what works in the field.

Whether you're a farmer, grower, local authority, educator, community project, business or simply curious about soil health, we'd love to meet you.

If you're attending, let us know in the comments or drop by for a chat.

After all, healthy crops start with healthy soils, and healthy soils start with biology. 🌱

Today, we pause to honour a true pioneer of soil biology — Elaine Ruth Ingham (1952–2026)** 🌱

Dr Ingham’s work fundamentally changed how the world understands soil. Through her development and teaching of the Soil Food Web concept, she helped farmers, growers, scientists and land stewards recognise that soil is not an inert medium — it is a living ecosystem.

Her research, published throughout the 1980s and 1990s, laid the foundation for a biological approach to land management. Her contribution to the Soil Biology Primer introduced generations to the now-iconic soil food web diagram — an image that continues to shape agricultural education globally.

At Agriton UK, her influence runs deep.

We have worked with — and contributed to — projects shaped by her teachings, particularly around:

• Soil microscopy training
• Compost and compost tea systems
• Microbial soil restoration
• Farmer education in biological land management

Many of the conversations we now have about microbial diversity, fungal:bacterial ratios, compost quality, and regenerative transitions stand on foundations she helped build.

Her work gave confidence to farmers questioning high-input systems.
It gave language to soil biology long before it became mainstream.
And it inspired a generation to look down — and see life.

As a researcher, educator and speaker, she made complex microbiology accessible, practical, and hopeful.

We extend our condolences to her family, colleagues, and the global soil community.

To honour her legacy, we encourage you to support soil education, or continuing the work of the Soil Food Web Foundation.

Healthy soil is environmental health.
Healthy soil is public health.

Her voice may be quiet now — but the biology she championed continues to grow beneath our feet.

🌱 It’s World Soil Day… but let’s talk about cities, not fields.
Because the ground beneath our pavements is quietly doing more work than most people realise.

💧 Flood protection
🌿 Biodiversity
🌆 Cooler, greener neighbourhoods
🍎 Local food
♻️ Turning “waste” into living soil

We’ve just published a new piece on why healthy soils are essential urban infrastructure—and how simple actions like Bokashi, composting and better soil management can transform the places we live.

If you care about climate resilience, food security or just making your town a better place… this one’s worth a read.
