Remineralize the Earth is a nonprofit organization assisting the worldwide movement of remineralizing soils with finely ground rock dust, sea minerals and other natural and sustainable means to increase the growth, health, and nutrient value of all plant life. Adding minerals and trace elements is vital to the creation of fertile soils, healthy crops and forests, and is a key strategy to stabilize the climate. http://remineralize.org

Costa Rica Agroforestry Project 2008
• Designed by John Todd of Ocean Arks International
• Over 20 species of trees, intercropped to provide food (fruit and nut trees), fuel (jatropha) and income (native hardwoods) to sustain local communities
• Remineralization significantly increased plant growth, health and carbon sequestration
Remineralized Jatropha produces a higher yield of oil-bearing seeds
