Undertaking the task of remineralization is urgent to restore ecological balance and stabilize the climate. Sustainable agriculture in today's world is a major priority, and soil remineralization is playing a crucial and vital role in ensuring the future well-being of all life. Remineralize the Earth, a nonprofit membership based organization, promotes the regeneration of soils and forests worldwide with finely ground gravel dust as an economically and ecologically sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, creating fertile soils much as the Earth does. Not only do we need to recycle and return the organic matter to the soil, we can also recycle the mineral nutrients to create fertile soils and produce healthier crops.
The vision of soil remineralization is spreading with a clear momentum from gardener and farmer to industry, scientist and policy maker. Remineralize the Earth is the leading resource in coordinating research and application of this growing science, with practitioners and researchers throughout the world.
We at Remineralize the Earth are making rapid progress towards our goal to bring the concept and application of soil remineralization into the mainstream.
John Hamaker and Don Weaver's inspiring book The Survival of Civilization is now available in its entirety on the website. Don has updated the original text and also created a powerful new companion volume, To Love And Regenerate The Earth: Further Perspectives on The Survival of Civilization. Both books are available from Don for free on the website, a gift to our endangered Earth.
Overall we are increasing the visibility of the organization to attract a greater and more coordinated presence in sustainable agriculture, forestry, and climate issues. To help us with this vital and urgent task, we are asking for your support.

Remineralize the Earth encourages soil remineralization through as many individuals, organizations, companies, and government bodies as choose to participate in this all-important work. We think it is essential, as a non-profit educational organization, to avoid inappropriate commercial influence or favoritism. The fact that we welcome commercial memberships and sponsorships for our website does not in our view conflict with our concern for openminded educational integrity and progress.
