Rapidly increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere are resulting in abrupt changes in climate that threaten food production and ecological systems. Soils are crucial to managing climate change. They contain two to three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the majority of our important crop species.

Professor Johannes Lehmann of Cornell University has been one of principal proponents of the value of extending the ancient work of using carbon for restoring soil productivity. Biochar is a powerhouse example of the potential of transforming soils.

The benefits from using mycorrhiza are remarkable, and the benefits are abundant. But the science behind the basics of how these fungi work doesn’t have to be complicated. We explore and explain how mycorrhizae helps the roots of your plants grow better, naturally.
