AMF and cover-crop evidence deepens regen-ag resilience thesis — soil biology sub-sector strengthening
Three T1 meta-analyses this week add to the evidence base that soil biological management — mycorrhizal fungi, cover crops, organic amendments — delivers measurable agronomic and environmental outcomes. The SFI and NVZ regulatory context gives cover-crop adoption a policy tailwind in the UK. The organic dairy nutrient differentiation data [WP0043] supports premium positioning but the iodine caveat complicates a clean health narrative. Practical implication: companies enabling soil biology (AMF inoculants, cover-crop seed, soil microbiome monitoring) now sit on a strengthening evidence platform, though on-farm efficacy data remain thinner than controlled-trial data.
