"The results from the various 4Terra projects I have been involved with are consistent with at least a fourfold increase in primary production and a tenfold increase in carbon sequestration against even previous best practice regenerative farming. This is truly astounding and has enormous implications for food security, biodiversity and climate."

— Dr. Eric von Wettberg, University of Vermont

4Terra’s mission is to accelerate soil fertility, farm productivity, ecosystem and climate regeneration, and the accessibility of nutritious, abundant food. 4Terra restores depleted and damaged lands with our integrated innovations to advance the health and wealth of plants, humans, animals, and water.

We achieve a landscape regeneration transformation after one 4Terra application and growing season — even turning degraded mineland into top-quality forestry or farmland. This saves years compared to conventional regenerative transformations.

Soils are degraded around the world.

Over some 10,000 years, human agricultural practices have reduced the ability of soil to support optimum growth of plants and trees in most areas.

The reasons for soil depletion include a) erosion from plowing, b) years of crop production that extracts dozens of essential minerals from the soil which are generally not replaced, and c) oxidation of soil humus that stores water and minerals for the plants.

Poor soil health and productivity cause many farmers to experience low yields and thus financial distress. In addition, the food we eat is depleted of minerals due to the above factors, which has significant consequences on our health.

The situation is alarming, as now close to half the land area on earth (46%) is desert or arid wasteland  (per the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and cannot reliably support food production.

We must reverse this trend of soil depletion and deforestation by restoring soil fertility on a broad scale.

Our soil fertility amendment: 20 years in the making

4Terra's soil amendment product is an historic breakthrough — a nature-based solution that improves fertility, restoring depleted soils in farms and forests. The results are impressive.

It took 4Terra's Founder, Ed Huling, nearly 20 years of rigorous testing, fine-tuning and investment to determine the optimal mix of its 20+ ingredients. His goal was to optimize plant nutrient “up-take,” which required extensive work to achieve the right balance of the minerals, microbes and humus — so each plant can access what it needs and when.

The resulting soil formula has generated 3 to 5 times more yield, up to 50% higher protein content in forage, and consistent doubling of daily cow weight gain.

Soil is a biochemically complex ecosystem.
The right combination is powerful.
