Healthy soils , rich in biodiversity, for more constant yields with fewer inputs. Healthy soils crops that are much more resistant to climatic shocks. Better harvests in the long term.
The first scientific rating tool for soil health, Genesis includes the biological functioning of soil, the measurement of carbon storage and dynamics and the presence of pollutants. Together, these indicators determine the health of your soils.
Genesis promotes better prices for products from healthy soils and easier access to finance and transition insurance. In addition, the Genesis rating is gradually being integrated into the market for carbon credits and payments for environmental services.
The consumer wants healthy products, the producer wants valued products, the citizen wants to know the impact of practices on the environment. You finally have a tool to reconcile the identification of the best practices and the valorisation of your harvests.
How they feel about Genesis
"When changing practices, there were no tools to see if we were doing well or not, which increases the fear of change. A tool that assesses the health of my soils changes everything."
As a farmer, we should not only look at what is going on above soil level, but also be aware of the life and functioning of our soils. And this is what Genesis does.
The analysis results are precise, the report complete and the team is very educational. I highly recommend Genesis as it is a real pleasure to work with them.
"The old analyses were chemistry. This is life. It changes the way we think."
"This tool is indispensable. This rating will make it possible to highlight the virtuous practices of an average farmer, who does not have certification for example.
"We are moving from chemicals to "soil biology". We need new types of analysis. This kind of tool will allow us to stand out and succeed in our agro-ecological transition."
"My Genesis score has allowed me to see the effect of my practices. The tool forces you to think. The design is very intuitive, you can see where you need to act for a better impact.
