According to the FAO, nearly 70% of the world's soils are degraded, with disastrous consequences for agricultural production.
We spoke today with Francis Bucaille, a man who worked different types of soils, and who compiled these observations in a book called “Revitalizing the soils”.

The solution imagined within the framework of this Gaiago company founded by Francis Bucaille, is what scientists call rational fertilization.
That is to say rebalancing soil microbiology, improving fertilization, storing carbon in the soil, strengthening the health of crops through their nutrition.
What scientists call nutriprotection.
And all these actions go through the contribution of regular natural fertilizer.
