About

At ZivaGarden, we work on enhancing soil health as a foundation for healthy plants, animals, people, and the environment. Through collaboration with research institutions, farmers, professional gardeners, and policymakers, we analyze the soil food web, produce high-quality compost for growth trials from lab to field, and conduct compostability assessments. Our work also contributes to developing new standards and scaling up the benefits of healthy soils across agriculture, the environment, and industry. A key focus is closing the loop of the circular bioeconomy, with healthy soils as both the starting point and ultimate goal.
