As farmers worldwide face the dual challenges of maintaining productivity while transitioning to more sustainable practices, SoilPoint has emerged as a leading innovator in the field of soil health and regenerative agriculture, transforming agricultural practices across the UK and beyond, helping ensure a sustainable future for farming and food security.
Who is SoilPoint?
SoilPoint Humic Co. began in the USA and has expanded globally into UK and European markets. Led by CEO Alan Forrester, who is Chair of the UK Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC), the company brings together an experienced team of farmers, food industry executives, and soil technology experts. Together, they are tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the rapid depletion of the world’s topsoil.
At the heart of SoilPoint’s innovation is their breakthrough Soil Booster – a natural soil conditioner proven to reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers. Certified by the UK Soil Association, Soil Booster contains key macro nutrients as well as 87 essential micronutrients extracted from lignite rock deposits. Using a proprietary process, it achieves 50%-70% pure humic granulates – far exceeding competitors’ 10%-20% concentrations.
Global trials
While conventional fertilisers have been relied upon to provide temporary yield increases, they’ve systematically degraded soil ecosystems worldwide, creating a dependency cycle that threatens long-term food security.
SoilPoint has cracked the industry’s traditional reliance on harsh chemical fertilisers, creating a solution that accelerates topsoil formation and generates up to 1cm every three years or faster, depending on conditions – ultimately proving that higher yields are attainable through sustainable practices that deliver both productive and profitable farming.
Global trials, including studies conducted in the UK, have demonstrated impressive results, boosting crop yields by up to 30%, improving soil water retention, enhancing carbon sequestration in soil and biomass and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to conventional farming practices.
In March 2025, SoilPoint partnered with Cefetra Ltd, a leading UK Grain business and agricultural supply chain specialist, to launch a pioneering soil health initiative in the UK. This initiative is built alongside 36 forward thinking farmers to replace a proportion of their synthetic fertiliser usage with SoilPoint’s Soil Booster, running for a full crop cycle measuring yields, crop quality, soil health, nutrient availability, and carbon emissions. This partnership marks the first phase of a long-term commercial relationship through which Cefetra will offer SoilPoint’s Soil Booster to UK farmers as part of its product portfolio.
Alan Forrester, CEO of SoilPoint, commented:
“Our data suggests that, if the UK continues to lose soil at current rates, it may face significant threats to future harvests. SoilPoint Soil Booster offers a natural and proven way to rejuvenate soils, supporting productivity and environmental improvements at the same time.
