The Golden Pineapple Initiative
At Herbert Farms, soil is our foundation. This project introduced a multi-season regenerative plan using compost, crop rotation, and natural mulching to restore depleted fields. The result: higher yields, improved soil moisture retention, and a dramatic reduction in synthetic inputs.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenges
Soil compaction from years of conventional farming
Nutrient leaching due to over-irrigation
Decline in microbial biodiversity
Solutions
Implemented cover cropping with legumes
Introduced biochar and compost tea sprays
Switched to drip irrigation to optimize water use
Outcome
Yields increased by 28%, soil organic matter rose by 12%, and local earthworm populations returned — all within two seasons.
Introduced solar-powered irrigation and natural composting
Partnered with agritech firms to monitor growth via drone mapping
Helped reduce synthetic fertilizer use by over 60% in 18 months
