REGENERATING SOIL

KRIS (Knowledge for Regeneration and Innovation in Soil) Systems is positioned at the forefront of the

SOIL FIRST FARMING movement for REGENERATING SOIL. 

Regenerate soil = Robust Farms = Revitalize Food = Restore Clean Water and Air = Renew our planet

Soil First Farming is championing a shift in agriculture towards enhancing human health, ecosystem services,

and producers' economic viability. This empowers the agricultural community with innovative solutions to

manage carbon flows for regenerating soil.

Mission

To directing a shift in agriculture towards enhancing human health, ecosystem services, & producers’ economic viability by utilizing carbon flows in a holistic regenerative system to synergize food, feed, and energy production.

Vision

A future where biologically-based agricultural systems are the standard or ‘conventional’ food, feed, and energy production systems.

Beauty of Soil

Soil is organic matter bound to sand, silt, and clay. Organic matter makes soil beautiful.

Organic matter and soil biology create soil aggregates - pellets - in soils. Aggregates help create soil structure or the distribution of open (pore) and closed (solid-filled) space. Soil structure:

 

  1. Increases water infiltration and water retention

  2. Reduces compaction

  3. Enhances air-flow - oxygen in and carbon dioxide out

  4. Assists in nutrient cycling

Aggregates are visible on roots. In some cases the roots are so fine, it looks like they suspended in space. The shapes of aggregates are not completely round or smooth because sand, silt, and clay particles and organic matter are inside them. This irregular shape makes the pore space between them ideal for water and air movement.

Services

KRIS Systems offers innovative solutions in regenerative agriculture to maximize carbon flows and regenerate soil by increasing soil organic matter.
