What to know about the soil microbiome: Soils harbor the most diverse and complex microbiome, and are an invaluable resource for sustainable ecosystems. Microorganisms are overwhelmingly abundant in soils, and, after plants, microorganisms residing in the soil and deep surface represent the largest fraction of global biomass on Earth. The quality and health of soils are linked to global food and water security, and have important implications for energy security and mitigating climate change. Earthmade foods are grown in a way that not only produces healthy plants, but it also keeps the soil as healthy as possible. 

What to know about the human gut microbiome: The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and benefiting your immune system and many other aspects of health. An imbalance of unhealthy and healthy microbes in the intestines may contribute to many issues including weight gain, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and other disorders. Studies show that chemicals like pesticides and fungicides can also be very detrimental to the harmony and balance of the human gut microbiome. At Earthmade, our top priority is your health, and we contribute to your overall well-being by using ZERO chemicals in all of our food practices.

How are the soil microbiome and your gut microbiome connected? Soils can influence human health and society in a multitude of ways, and thus human health is intimately connected to soil health. Humans also obtain several essential elements from plant- based foods, and soil microbiomes regulate not only the cycling of those elements but also the health of all plants. At Earthmade, we are proud to say that our food and agriculture practices are healthy for the soil, which, in turn, makes them healthy for your gut.
