Update on RTE Project in Costa Rica
In partnership with Ocean Arks International's John Todd, RTE's research project in Costa Rica is currently documenting evidence of the enhanced growth of trees by using volcanic rockdust to enrich the soil while reforesting previously devastated, overgrazed grasslands. See this article to learn more about our efforts to increase carbon sequestration through remineralization in Costa Rica.

Unveiling the First Generation Bionutrient Meter
We previously reported on the exciting prospects of the Bionutrient Meter, a hand-held device that measures the nutrient content of foods. Now, the Bionutrient Meter is a reality and is available for purchase. The Bionutrient Food Association are right now building the first 300 for early adopters, and they will make about 50 available at the upcoming Soil & Nutrition Conference November 30 - December 2, 2018 in Southbridge, MA. The device will be unveiled at the pre-conference on November 30, where it will likely sell out.
Early adopters of the Bionutrient Meter are ...
Upcoming Workshops in Costa Rica on the Farming and Agroforestry Revolution of Ernst Gotsch
As part of Remineralize the Earth’s mission, we are looking towards initiating future projects in the post-hurricane Caribbean, similar to projects like Sitio Semente outside Brasilia, Brazil. These projects, based on the work of Ernst Gotsch, hold the potential to produce great diversity of vegetables, fruits, coffee, and cacao in one agroforestry system, adapted to communities in the subtropical and tropical regions. Such a system can be jump-started with one initial application of rock dust and no outside inputs thereafter. Ernst Gotsch’s syntropic farming and ...
Dirt Rich, a Geotherapy Documentary, Screening at Festivals around the World
"Touching, instructive, endearing, astute, grounded, heartwarming, and remarkable. Adjectives cannot describe how skillfully Dirt Rich portrays the emergent wisdom of the new breed of earth stewards, scientists, smallholders, agronomists, and activists who brilliantly husband land (and animals) in order to midwife a regenerative civilization." --Paul Hawken
Filmmaker Marcelina Cravat and the team behind the award winning environmental documentary Angel Azul have released Dirt Rich, a first of its kind documentary that comprehensively shifts focus on the topic ...
Conflict Puts Remineralization Project on Hold in Cameroon
Due to political conflict in Cameroon, FESCAM’s successful remineralization project is now on hold indefinitely. We have previously reported on the ongoing development of this project, including Remineralize the Earth’s (RTE) partnership with FESCAM. We hope to see the project return and thrive in the future and that the conflict in Cameroon will be resolved soon.
Cameroon is a sub-Saharan country with about 60% of the population engaged in agriculture, which contributes approximately 40% of the Gross National Product. Cameroon suffers from serious soil ...

To Love and Regenerate the Earth: Pioneer spotlight on Don Weaver
“Generous worldwide soil remineralization is not just another nice idea or ‘option’ to make the world greener, but a most fundamental climate-rebalancing and world-saving necessity.”
These are the words of Don Weaver — ecologist, researcher, writer, organic grower, and long-time Remineralize the Earth advisor — in his 2009 open letter welcoming and appealing to the new administration of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
As with his outreach to the Obamas, Weaver has dedicated 40 years of effort to educating the public of the great ...
The Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation – Advancing remineralization into the mainstream
Responding to climate change is one of the most complicated and one of the most long-term projects humanity has ever undertaken. If we're going to manage this challenge, it's going to involve new policies, new laws, and new ways of behaving. We have to think not of ourselves (that in itself is a challenge for human beings); we have to think of future generations.
Oliver Morton, The Economist
The grand challenge
A new paradigm for research has taken shape in a ground-breaking effort to mitigate climate change, and remineralization is the focus of this unique ...
Pioneer Spotlight: Acknowledging the contributions of sustainable agriculture consultant Steve Diver
Long-time agriculture and horticulture specialist Steve Diver has been an active proponent of the remineralization movement for many years. His scholastic training focused on the areas of horticulture, botany, plant physiology, and soil science, and in the years since, he has become a sought-after expert in those areas of study and the agriculture industry as a whole.
Diver has spent his career thus far working in various agricultural capacities, including an 18-year stint with the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) as a specialist with the National ...
