Fungi for Better Soil

Fungi for Better Soil

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) team up with plant roots to boost nutrient absorption, reduce stress, and cut the need for fertilizers. They help plants thrive in tough conditions like salty or toxic soil, while also improving soil health and storing more carbon, making them a natural fix for healthier farming.
