Healthy Soil for a better world
The Orinoco river basin has some of the oldest and poorest soils on the planet. As a result, the challenge is to build soil that can support various types of cultivations, without contaminating the waterways or natural areas that are adjacent. This includes using practices that promote and preserve soil microfauna, which returns the favor by helping to produce healthier crops for human use. La Pedregoza is proud to share its knowledge and expertise with local campesinos.
