Throughout millennia, the forces of Mother Nature have been grinding down mineral-rich rocks into small particles. The result is healthy and fertile soil filled with a natural mix of nutrients that plants (and people) need to thrive.<\/p>\n
The problem is this: Mother Nature works slowly\u2014while humankind destroys quickly. It takes nature 500 years to replace one inch of eroded soil. If we don\u2019t start taking better care of our precious planet\u2019s skin, there will be nothing left to sustain us.<\/p>\n
Good Nutrition Begins with the Soil<\/strong><\/p>\n Plants\u2014like people\u2014need adequate nutrition to produce crops that are not only nutrient-dense but also satisfy our taste buds better than anything that is chemically engineered. This intense flavor and nutrition is delivered in the form of rock minerals. Rock minerals feed the soil microbes that transform the minerals into available nutrition for plants which produce healthy food for us.<\/p>\n Simple, right?<\/p>\n Unfortunately, rock minerals don\u2019t regenerate on their own after they\u2019ve been wiped out. Absent a volcanic eruption or a glacial event, once they are gone\u2014they are gone for good (at least in our lifetime).<\/p>\n Putting Rock Minerals Back Where They Belong<\/strong><\/p>\n Adding rock minerals back to the soil is called \u201cremineralization,\u201d a practice that is slowly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the country of Brazil recently made soil remineralization part of its agricultural policy\u2014a major step forward in generating global awareness and interest in the importance of rock minerals and how they help grow healthier, stronger plants with higher yields and higher levels of nutrients.<\/p>\n
