Description:
Chloride Free is a non-profit that aims to reverse climate change and help nature restore balance. To enable this, we are working to promote soil biodiversity through sustainable agriculture. We work on two main fronts: the first is raising awareness about the importance of soil biodiversity in the climate fight as well as in other ecosystem services such as human health, food security and environmental conservation. This is especially important seeing as these organisms are out of sight and usually out of mind. The second front is taking action to promote sustainable, chloride-free agriculture. We do this through our certification program which certifies farmers who do not use fertilizers with high concentrations of chloride or a high salt index.
