Dr. Elaine Ingham, The Soil Food Web
Dr. Ingham’s microbiome sequestration system is by far the fastest way to decarbonize the planet. Dollar for dollar, ton for ton, the Soil Food Web process locks more carbon in the soil than any other known process. Further, the soil conversion when coupled with no-till farming is complete in a matter of a few years. TAINABLE aims to promote and mainstream Dr. Ingham’s soil conversion process on a global scale.

Pat Crowley, Chapul Farms
Pat’s diverse career path has a singular focus of ensuring food and water availability for future generations. Chapul Farms’ mission is to develop commercial insect facilities that advance key environmental impact goals toward sustainable (net-zero) and regenerative (net positive) initiatives, including the health of homo sapiens communities. Chapul develops economic incentives for human actions to expedite the development of insect habitats within agri-systems.

Eddie Hill, Black Farm Bureau
Edward “Eddie” Hill is one of the seven founders of Black Food Sovereignty Coalition and Director of the Black Farm Bureau. Hill brings a humorous directness and cheeky sincerity to his work advancing environmental, economic, and social justice (parity) through food systems and wealth building in vulnerable communities.

Christian Wrigley, Birdsong Botanicals
Christian Wrigley is an herb gardener, clinical herbalist, children’s outdoor educator and founder of BirdSong Botanicals. His mission is to educate, empower and spread awareness that human health and vitality is intimately connected to the health and biodiversity of our planets soils and ecosystems.

Ramsey McPhillips, Founder, Tainable
Ramsey dedicated the use of his family’s 600-acre farm to demonstrate and advocate what he believes is the most efficient way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil. Ramsey founded TAINABLE to create, with full throttle urgency, a regenerative farm demonstration facility, using proven laboratory soil science from highly regarded scientists and innovators to stave off climate change in the next ten years.
Leading Soil Practitioners
These two teams are partnered with a storied-landowner and other regionally influential board members to create Tainable as a platform for at-scale commercial applications for waste-to-soil-health projects. Tainable’s 600 acres are mapped out to demonstrate the efficacy of precision-composting and insect's soil regenerative roles in addressing the essential need to restore soil health in global agriculture.

The CHAPUL FARMS insect innovations have the possibility of changing the way we dispose of agricultural and food waste on a global scale.
Unlike landfills which spew massive amounts of methane and CO2 gas, Chapul’s nature-based process both reduces emissions and produces an organic, non-petroleum-based nitrogen fertilizer. Insect digestion of waste has proven to reduce CO2 and methane emissions by 70% as compared to landfill decomposition. Just one operating Black Soldier Fly operation diverts 7 million tons of GHG, which is the same as taking more than 1 million cars off the road.

Taken together, these two proven and profitable, cost-saving soil processes could go a long way to immediately roll back the carbon emergency. TAINABLE is laser-focused on bringing about that outcome.

Tainable donates facilities to accomplished scientist-tenants, Chapul Farms and the Soil Food Web, who have developed proven carbon-sequestration strategies that deserve greater exposure to speed climate change solutions. Tainable’s labs and acres of farmland available for field study will allow tenants to collaborate, focus and expedite work.
“The importance of Tainable is the collaboration and accumulation of scientists here on our land that HAVE THE GOODS. We can restore circularity, sequester more carbon, and improve nutrient density with our work. Soil Food Web protocols can achieve 6 tons of carbon per acre per year. Other people are happy to get 2 tons an acre. I have yet to find soil building practices that can sequester more carbon in soil than Dr. Ingham’s Soil Food Web process. She has the case studies to prove it. And it's up to us to share her story.” - Ramsey McPhillips
