6 Essential Links Every Farmer Needs to Join to Build Soil AND Farm Profit (eBook)
In this downloadable eBook, you’ll learn:
- How to build a soil system that can better retain and cycle plant nutrients
- Practical ways to reduce losses of key nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulphur (S)
- Why trace minerals play an important role in supporting livestock health, both above and below ground
- How introducing ocean-derived elements has been associated with improvements in soil and plant performance
- How working with soil function supports a system that avoids chemical inputs, and creates conditions that are less favourable for weeds and pests
- How restoring soil function can unlock the productive potential already sitting within your farm
NZ Price range: $25.00 through $30.00 (incl. GST)

Frequently Asked Questions
What does regenerating your soil actually mean?
Regenerating your soil means improving the whole system, not just one part of it.
You will see improvements in:
- Pasture productivity and quality
- Animal health and performance
- Farm profitability
- Your enjoyment of farming - including reduced stress and better day-to-day conditions
- The environment
As a food producer, you are also contributing to a healthier, stronger community - we are what we eat.
Is Ecofarm a regenerative system?
Yes - in practice, not just ideology. And not only regenerative, but progressive.
We focus on:
- Soil function
- Mineral balance
- Biological activity
- Reduced dependence on external inputs
Everything we do is designed to move the system forward in a regenerative direction.
Soil is a complete system. If you leave parts out, it cannot function properly. Our approach considers the full soil - plant - animal - consumption chain and makes it practical to apply on farm.
Isn’t regeneration slow and risky?
We have found the opposite.
Our approach uses measurement, interpretation, and experience to reduce risk and maintain productivity. We aim to hold production in the first year, build in the second, and continue improving from there.
Alongside that, farmers often see wider benefits - less time spent on the tractor, easier day-to-day management, improved animal performance, and increased profitability.
What about carbon and organic matter?
Organic matter is roughly 50% carbon, so when you test for organic carbon, organic matter will typically reflect at around double that level.
Carbon builds naturally when soil function improves - as structure develops, roots penetrate deeper, and microbial activity increases.
We focus on function first, carbon follows.
Is this suitable for long-term farm succession?
Yes.
Regenerative systems are about resilience, lower stress, and leaving the farm better than you found it - economically, biologically, and practically.
Strong soils, lower input pressure, and a more enjoyable farming system all help make succession more attractive for the next generation.
Our aim is to help bring farming back to a healthy, rewarding lifestyle that people want to step into.
