💬 If animals could talk, they’d be shocked at how much food we waste.

And when food is wasted, so are the nutrients that could have gone back into the soil to grow more.

🌾 Waste less and nourish more - for future harvests.

In The Gambia, a new soil spectroscopy lab is helping researchers unlock the secrets beneath their feet.

This lab makes soil testing faster, more affordable, and accurate, supporting better decisions for farming, food security, and land restoration.
