While agricultural production around the world struggles with declining soil health, Australian researchers are investigating production of a sustainable organic nitrogen fertilizer made from aquatic cyanobacterial biomass — ideally suited for badly degraded areas reliant on chemical fertilizers, says Flinders University.

For this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by The Andersons, we chat with independent crop consultant Jeremiah Durbin about the physical, chemical and biological aspects of soil health and how he uses his mechanical background to help trouble-shoot issues in the field.
