In 2012, he initiated Rockinsoils a small consultancy in organic farming that gives farming families better access to information and skills to regenerate their farms, soils and hence their communities. Rockinsoils integrates simple techniques to manage water, nutrients and crops and increase wealth of farming communities. All the techniques are easily accessible to any producer in any country. His trainings focus on the production and use of compost, bio-fertilizers, minerals and plant extracts. He also coaches farmer organizations to record and share their experiences within their own communities and build up local knowledge centers and small businesses. In 2020 he was awarded with a Doctor Honoris Causa for its contribution to the discipline of agriculture by the government of Mexico. More info on www.rockinsoils.com
