Soil Association

Soil Association is the charity joining forces with nature to transform our future from the ground up. It starts by looking after the soil. Put simply, we can’t live without it. It’s the foundation of life on Earth.

Restoring UK soils back to health

Restoring UK soils back to health
Soil is vital to nurture and sustain everything that we grow. But all too often soil is treated like dirt, and much of the UK’s soil is now in crisis. The solution is nature-friendly farming.

Bringing farmers together

Bringing farmers together

Soil Association’s Innovative Farmers Programme brings farmers and researchers together to find ways to produce food more naturally. Every day, farmers are seeing the benefits of nature-friendly farming - this is better for our climate, wildlife, and for people.

Frances is farming with nature

Frances is farming with nature
Through the Soil Association, Frances was able to share with other farmers her experience of having more wild plants on her farm that encourage predatory insects. They have now created ecosystems that look after themselves and use no pesticides at all.
