Soil Foodweb

The Soil Foodweb refers to the complex community of living organisms in soil—such as bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and insects—that work together to break down organic matter and cycle nutrients. This natural process keeps soil healthy, supports plant growth, and enhances its fertility. These tiny organisms interact in a balanced ecosystem, transforming organic residues into forms plants can absorb. Maintaining a healthy Soil Foodweb is essential for sustainable farming and gardening, as it promotes resilient plants and reduces the need for chemical inputs.
