A seismic shift in understanding soil
The Earth Rover Program unites farmers, researchers, citizens and innovators across disciplines to regenerate the living ground beneath our feet. Using non-invasive approaches to map the world’s soils, we build open scientific tools and partnerships to monitor, understand and restore the land, advancing food security, climate stability, and biodiversity through science, technology, and collaboration.
A Regenerative Future
We envision a planet where healthy soils are the heart and soul of thriving communities; the living foundation of food, water, and life itself. By revealing the hidden dynamics beneath our feet, we seek to transform agriculture, restore ecosystems, and secure long-term carbon in the ground.
Collaborative Intelligence
We bring together people and knowledge across disciplines and continents. Farmers, scientists, communities and the land itself form a living network of knowledge and ideas, sharing insights, learning and co-creating solutions that last. Our strength lies in connection: from microbes to earthworms to human networks.
From Fields to the Planet
We build bridges across scales, from the smallholder farmer nurturing a single harvest to global frameworks shaping soil health policy. Our work connects short-term resilience in food and income with the long-term stability of Earth’s carbon and water cycles. By aligning local empowerment with planetary stewardship, we strive to contribute to a more balanced, free and thriving world.
Community and Transparency
We operate on the principles of open and rigorous science, data privacy, and equity. All methods and findings are transparent and reproducible, empowering communities to act on reliable knowledge. Local stewardship and shared insight drive global progress.
Grounded Prosperity
Healthy soils mean healthy people and stable societies. By supporting better yields, resilient livelihoods, and diverse ecosystems, we strengthen the connection and trust between land, culture, and economy, ensuring that prosperity grows from the ground up.
Our Compass
Grow - Improve yields, livelihoods, and flows of trusted information and knowledge.
Transform - Support farming toward ecologically and economically healthy practices.
Restore - Regenerate ecosystems to support all life.
Stabilise - Build food system resilience from communities to the planet.
