Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the biggest limitation in agriculture isn't fertilizer...What if it's a function?In this episode of Soil Talks™ Podcast, Brandon Kail sits down with Dan Grotsky, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Groundwork BioAg, to explore the underground biological networks that drive nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, crop resilience, and long-term soil function.For decades, agriculture was told that mycorrhizal fungi were too expensive, too fragile, and impossible to scale across broad-acre row crops.Groundwork BioAg proved otherwise.Inside this conversation:✅ Why soils stop working even when nutrients are present✅ How mycorrhizal fungi unlock legacy phosphorus✅ The hidden biological network beneath every crop✅ Why soil biology drives drought resilience✅ How fungi become the primary pathway for carbon sequestration✅ The science behind soil carbon payments and carbon markets✅ What the future of regenerative and biological agriculture looks likeIf agriculture is going to produce more food with fewer inputs, the answer won't come from adding more products.It will come from restoring biological function.
