Welcome to the Sierra Soil Biology Association
About Us
SSBA's Mission
The Sierra Soil Biology Association promotes knowledge and development of the soil food web – that complete spectrum of microscopic life that moves nutrients through soil as nature intended.
Why develop a healthy food web in your soil?
- Maximize plant quality and production, with no synthetic inputs.
- Eradicate diseases and pests – without pesticides, of any kind.
- Allow plants to achieve their potential for health and vitality.
- Help reverse the effects of global climate change.
The Way Forward
Thanks to a growing number of biologists – foremost among them the esteemed Dr. Elaine Ingham – the big picture is clear: healthy soil requires a particular range and diversity of microbial life. By adopting techniques created from this knowledge, farmers, ranchers and gardeners are leading the way to a healthy future.
