INTRODUCTION

What can we discover through listening to soil? Biofonic is an eco-acoustic monitoring device that detects key indicators of soil health by measuring soundscapes within it.

Through the chemical and physical interventions of farming, fertile lands are reducing year on year in the UK. The Biofonic team from MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering believe we need a solution that promotes biodiversity and moves away from chemical testing.

 

Their soundscape device fosters regenerative soil practices that improve farm production. While at the same time reducing costs, removing damaging chemicals and quantifying the carbon capturing potential of soil.
