  • Nutrient Transformations: How soil microbes break down organic matter, release nutrients, and facilitate nutrient uptake by plants.
  • Sustainable Practices: Strategies to enhance soil health through microbial management, cover cropping, and bioavailable nutrient amendments.
  • Case Studies: Real-world examples demonstrating the effects of enhanced nutrient cycling on farms.

Terraforma International was founded in 2018 by Miles Sorel and Cooper Scarbrough. Their shared passion for regenerative innovation drove them to create a company focused on transforming agriculture through practices that benefit people and the planet. Our focus on ethical business and improving the health of the planet and people motivate our operating principles and company values. Terraforma is one of the top international consultants listed in Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web Program. We've also consulted on many international large-scale farms with some operations totaling over 100,000 acres.
