The Book From Salt to Soil

In recent years, the field has changed—and changed rapidly. What was once explained solely by the producer's intuition now needs to make sense on paper, in management practices, nutrition, and even in the energy that circulates between soil, plant, and animal.
It was in this context that the book was born. From Salt to Soil: the need to translate, in a simple and practical way, as an element as common as salt It can reveal a completely new logic about performance, balance, and regeneration.

The starting point is simple: not all salt is the same.

For a long time, mineral supplementation was treated as something standardized. But the purity of the mineral, the type of crystal, and how it interacts with the animal's metabolism make a direct difference:

• in consumption
• in available energy
• during grazing season
• in soil health
• and even in the hidden costs of the system

When we started observing these details in the field, the patterns became clear. Small changes—especially in the quality and origin of the salt—triggered transformations that didn't show up on the spreadsheet, but emerged in the herd's behavior and the soil's vitality.

The herd speaks. The soil responds. The system gives back.

The book highlights an essential point: The field is a living organism., And everything is connected.
Salt is not just salt.
Energy is not just energy.
And performance isn't just about numbers.

When there is balance, the result appears naturally.
When there isn't [the money], the system takes its toll — sometimes slowly, sometimes silently.

Why write a book about this?

Because we realized that this conversation wasn't happening.

Producers saw problems with consumption, but they didn't know that the answer might lie in the mineral composition.
Technicians noticed losses in the pasture, but did not link these losses to the behavior of the herd.
And researchers saw fragments of data, but without a clear link between practice and evidence.

From Salt to Soil It was born precisely from that need: connect the dots, To bring together science and practice, and to show that it is possible to produce more — and better — with simple, yet precise decisions.

This blog is a continuation of the conversation.

Here, we will share:

• insights from the field
• translated scientific evidence
• analyses on nutrition, energy and soil
• true stories that inspired the book
• updates on international versions
• Content that didn't fit in the book, but deserves to be published.

In upcoming articles, we will delve deeper into topics such as:

• Why does salt purity alter herd behavior?
• the relationship between metabolizable energy and system equilibrium
• How small choices change the life of the soil.
• the role of livestock in the regeneration of degraded areas
• the invisible value that arises from constancy

The landscape is changing. And we are documenting that change.

If the book is the starting point, this blog will be the path to follow everything that is to come — new research, field reports, reflections on the future of regenerative livestock farming, and content that expands on the vision presented in [the book]. From Salt to Soil.

Welcome to the project.
The countryside is alive — and this story is only just beginning.
