A quiet revolution<\/h2>\n

Over the last 20 years, a quiet revolution has been taking place in laboratories, research institutes and innovative farming communities.<\/p>\n

Just as our growing understanding of the human microbiome is revolutionising medicine, the same is happening in agriculture.<\/p>\n

Scientists around the world are studying the power of natural microorganisms to improve soil health, reduce erosion and groundwater contamination, and increase plant yields and resistance to pathogens.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lifeworks.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/science_01_small_optimised.jpg” alt=”Microbiomial scientist with soil samples” title_text=”Microbiomial scientist with soil samples” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||5vh||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” border_color_all=”#7cda24″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”The power of microbes” background_overlay_color=”rgba(105,189,69,0.77)” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”left” title_font_size=”58px” content_text_align=”left” content_text_color=”#ffffff” content_font_size=”22px” content_line_height=”1.3em” background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/lifeworks.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bacteria-monochrome.jpg” custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ content_font_size_tablet=”” content_font_size_phone=”18px” content_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]\n

Overuse of pesticides, chemical fertilisers and antibiotics has tipped our environment out of balance. Now microbial preparations made easily from natural ingredients can restore diversity of microorganisms to the soil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compost rich in lactobacillus and other beneficial microbes can be made from composted vegetable matter, food waste, animal droppings, molasses, milk and rice. This increases humus formation and reduces erosion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It can be used to enhance seed germination when pre-soacked in diluted serum overnight before planting as well as serving as biostimulants for enhanced growth vigour, productivity and overall yields.\u00a0It can also be sprayed on plants to keep diseases and insects at bay \u2013 and even to clean latrines.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f8f7f5″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”2vh||2vh||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95vw” max_width=”2560px” custom_padding=”4vh|2vh|4vh|2vh|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”||||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”0px|2vh|0px|2vh|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lifeworks.global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/science_supporting-image.jpg” alt=”Close-up of microbes under a microscope” title_text=”Close-up of microbes under a microscope” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||5vh||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” border_color_all=”#7cda24″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font_size=”58px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin_tablet=”|0vw|2vh|0vw|false|true” custom_margin_phone=”|0vw|4vh|0vw|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_letter_spacing_tablet=”” text_letter_spacing_phone=”” text_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

A solution to help communities thrive<\/h2>\n

Lifeworks has developed programmes of training and related support around preparing lactobacillus serum and a range of other microbial mixes for improving agriculture.<\/p>\n

This approach is sustainable and effective. Microbial technology is free and something that every farmer and every community can benefit from.<\/p>\n

In communities supported by Lifeworks, we see the impact ripple out as farmers train other farmers, and increased yields first change the lives of individual families and then transform whole communities.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1401px” custom_padding=”|4vw||4vw|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_font_size=”58px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”58px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” text_orientation=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

The Results<\/h2>\n

After our trainings in microbial technology farmers report an increase in crop yield of between 50% and 150%. Recent research shows soil microbes help make plants more resistant to aggressive diseases.<\/p>\n

Seed germination rates also improve \u2013 and chemical fertiliser use falls. Livestock farmers see improved animal health, reduced veterinary costs and mortality, and higher prices.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”Videos” text_orientation=”center” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_font_size=”58px” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f8f7f5″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”2vh||2vh||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”2vh||2vh||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95vw” max_width=”2560px” custom_padding=”4vh|2vh|4vh|2vh|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”||||true|true” custom_padding_phone=”0px|2vh|0px|2vh|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”22px” text_line_height=”1.3em” header_2_font_size=”58px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin_tablet=”|0vw|2vh|0vw|false|true” custom_margin_phone=”|0vw|4vh|0vw|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_letter_spacing_tablet=”” text_letter_spacing_phone=”” text_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
