Grunt od Nowa

Profile

Grunt od Nowa Foundation supports farmers in the process of soil regeneration, reconstruction of their fertility and yield potential. We combine agricultural practice with developed scientific solutions, testing innovative technologies in the area of soil regeneration using microbiological solutions and locally available mineral rocks in 20 farms in Poland. Our main area of activity is Poland but we cooperate also with partners in Germany, Netherlands, Latvia and other European countries.

Our projects focus on a few main areas: 
- Agricultural soil regeneration; 
- Educational projects and programmes for farmers, agronomists, schools, teachers;
- Corporate projects including educational projects, employee volunteering and CO2 offsetting projects;
- Reconstruction of greenery in cities.

We organise training, field visits, consultancy, we test biotechnological solutions that accelerate regenerative processes in the fields.
