Ukraine’s Path to Soil Remineralization
In a field in Eastern Ukraine, where heavy military equipment was moving just a few months ago, agronomists are now attempting to restore degraded soils by spreading finely ground basalt across the soil. What looks like an ordinary farming operation is, in fact, an attempt to build an evidence pipeline:mineral → field → measurement → standardization. This is where agronomic effects can already be observed on the ground, though the climate layer still requires formal Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) frameworks, that is, a transparent system for monitor...

Basalt is one of the most abundant volcanic rocks on Earth. Formed from molten lava, it’s commonly used in construction for roads and buildings. But during the mining process, much of the finest basalt dust ends up discarded, considered waste.
